Itasca Historical Museum: Located in Illinois, Not Texas

Correct Location

The Itasca Historical Museum and Recreational Center Inc. is in Itasca, Illinois (DuPage County)—a northwest suburb of Chicago.

Why the Confusion?

• "Itasca" is also a county in Minnesota (Itasca State Park, Mississippi headwaters).
• No Itasca, Texas exists (there's an Itasca, TX in Hill County, but no historical museum by that name there).
