DuPage County Historical Museum

Today is Flag Day! Did you know that our nation's flag has undergone over twenty five design revisions since 1777? This World War 1-era drawstring bag features a version of the U.S. flag with just 40 stars! Be sure to learn more about this artifact and others at our newest exhibit, Serving with Honor.

Today we proudly open Serving With Honor: DuPage County Veterans!
Every uniform tells a story, and behind each patch, medal, or mended tear is a person whose military service shaped not only their life but the history of DuPage County. Together, these stories remind us that history is not only made on distant battlefields, but also in the communities veterans return home to serve.
This latest exhibit will be on view through March 20, 2027.
