The Vermilion County War Museum is located in Danville's original public library building. Constructed in 1903 through a gift of Andrew Carnegie, the building served as the library until 1995, when overcrowded conditions necessitated moving to a new location. The Carnegie building was donated by the City of Danville to the War Museum board, and through the efforts of a great number of individuals donating thousands of hours of labor, it has been restored to its present condition.
The Vermilion County War Museum opened on Veteran's Day, 1999. We continue to have visitors every day and new material is coming in constantly. We recently installed an elevator and are now accessible to everyone.
