The DuPage County Historical Museum currently exists as a facility of Wheaton Park District and houses the administrative staff as well as Museum Curator and Educator. New museum staff members were introduced in early 2009 and are currently working to plan changing exhibits, programs, and re-establish the Museum as a thriving cultural hub for the community. The Museum is free and open weekdays from 8:30 am-4:30 pm and weekends from noon-4 pm. The Museum is located at 102 E Wesley, Wheaton.
