Description

In Murphysboro, Illinois, the General John A. Logan Museum introduces visitors to the remarkable life of one of the state’s most important Civil War-era figures. John A. Logan rose from southern Illinois politics to become a Union general, U.S. senator, and national veterans’ leader. Displays explore his military and political careers, his service to the Union, and his role in the development of Memorial Day and the Grand Army of the Republic. It is a worthwhile stop for travelers interested in Civil War history, Illinois history, and the people whose public lives continued long after the fighting ended.
