The Western Illinois Museum Board is pleased to welcome two new Directors, Anna Bower and Dr. Timothy Roberts. They will play an important role in guiding the museum to live its mission well.

Directors serve for one year with the option to renew for up to three terms. They are our biggest advocates.  As a non-profit, funded and supported by individual contributors, the museum is here to serve the community.  The directors love to talk about what’s happening at the museum and welcome your suggestions.
