The Museum is located on the grounds of Wandschneider Park in the historic Blodgett House. The Victorian structure was built in 1892 as the 11-room home of the Charles Blodgett family, descendants of one of the Village's first settlers. Ongoing exhibits include the original Downers Grove fire truck and the 1846 Blodgett House - used as an Underground Railway stop.
