Ethnic Heritage Museum

Ethnic Heritage Museum Open Sundays and other days prearranged tours by calling 815-962-7402 Join us as local history lives on in a quaint home built in 1850's.

Known today as The Ethnic Heritage Museum it is here that you will find six fascinating galleries devoted to the primary immigrant groups that settled in southwest Rockford, IL. African-American, Hispanic, Irish, Italian, Lithuanian and Polish. Through displays of early Rockford area maps, everyday artifacts, vintage clothing and more, visitors of all ages can learn about Old World customs and tra

ditions. Historical photographs tell the stories of the earliest settlers who established factories near the old "waterpower district" and built their homes nearby. By comparing early with current lifestyles, the museum strives to bridge the gap between yesterday and today ... encouraging visitors to relive the past with a clear focus on Rockford's bright future. Tours may be scheduled during the week. If you would like more information on membership or request a private tour please call us at (815) 962-7402!
