JohnALoganMuseum

The General John A. Logan Museum celebrates one of the most noteworthy nineteenth century Americans to escape notice in the 20th and 21st centuries. Praised as one of General Grant’s favorite officers, Mark Twain’s favorite public speakers, and the founder of Memorial Day, General Logan’s advocacy of equality for African Americans and women was well ahead of his time. The museum also celebrates the role of "Egypt" (Southern Illinois) in the Civil War and provides educational and cultural programs.
