TenthA86 Posted September 24, 2011 Share #2 Posted September 24, 2011 As a visitor to Cantigny for more than 50 years, I can assure anyone who has NOT seen this museum - you are missing a first class exhibit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriscoHare Posted September 24, 2011 Share #3 Posted September 24, 2011 As a visitor to Cantigny for more than 50 years, I can assure anyone who has NOT seen this museum - you are missing a first class exhibit! Ditto... I loved Cantigny since going there on a 6th grade field trip. The exhibits and the tanks alone are worth seeing. I must find time to go there again!

willysmb44 Posted September 26, 2011 Share #5 Posted September 26, 2011 I concur, it's much like some of the better euopean museums, in that it tells a good story and shows a lot of really neat historical artifacts! I was lucky enough to go there in a trip to the Chicago area a few years ago and really liked it. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was seething for weeks after my visit that I couldn’t take photos of the Jack Thompson (war correspondent of course) tanker jacket on display when I was there last. I should have just taken the shot then feigned ignorance if approached after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
