| Ottawa Scouting
Museum - If you were ever a Girl Scout, Boy Scout - or Camp Fire
Girl, etc., you will undoubtedly enjoy a visit to the Ottawa Scouting
Museum. Founded to promote and preserve the colorful and proud
traditions of Scouting, they have collected a large array of memorabilia
- including uniforms, badges, equipment, etc., all on display. For
anyone who has been in Scouting - or has kids in Scouting - the place is
fascinating and heart warming. What a program! |
Take exit 90 of I-80 and drive south on IL-23 into Ottawa. After
you cross US-6 you will cross the railroad tracks. The fifth
intersection after you cross the tracks is Washington Street. Turn right
and follow Washington to Canal Street (4 blocks). The museum is on the
corner. Phone 1-815-431-9353.
By the way, the museum is supported by the sale of watchband
calendars. They're pretty neat. They have a web site at ScoutMuseum. |
