Located on Cantigny Park in Wheaton, IL, the historic home and estate of the late Colonel Robert R.McCormick, the museum presents the history of America's first and oldest, continuously serving combat division.

The division's story is told in breath-taking, immersive and interactive galleries, including the trenches of the First World War Western Front, Omaha Beach of D-Day fame in Normandy, France,during WorldWar I, and the triple canopy jungles of Vietnam.
