July Trip
Visit Wheaton, Illinois
Hop on the bus with us to Wheaton, IL! The Billy Graham Museum is located on the campus of Wheaton College. In operation since 1980, it gives ‘the story of evangelism in North America, especially the ministry of Billy Graham,” who graduated from Wheaton College with a BA in anthropology. Next, we journey to Cantigny, a 500-acre park in Wheaton. It is the former estate of Joseph Medill and his grandson, Colonel Robert R. McCormick, publishers of the Chicago Tribune. The park opened in 1958 is home to The First Division Museum and Cantigny Gardens. (For movie buffs - a scene from A League of Their Own was filmed at this location!)
