General John A. Logan Museum

The General John A. Logan Museum celebrates one of the most noteworthy nineteenth century Americans to escape notice in the 20th and 21st centuries. Among his legacies are modern veterans' benefits and Memorial Day. His advocacy of equality for African Americans and women was well ahead of his time.



Our museum also celebrates the role of "Egypt" (Southern Illinois) in the Civil War, provides educational and cultural programs, and is a gateway for regional tourism.
