Cantigny
Cantigny Park, Cantigny Golf and the First Division Museum are important expressions of Colonel Robert R. McCormick’s legacy and offer recreational and educational opportunities for the entire community.
Cantigny Park
Cantigny Park is the former estate of Colonel Robert R. McCormick and is located in Wheaton, Illinois. Each year, more than 350,000 visitors enjoy Cantigny’s events, museums, gardens, trails and open spaces.
The Park, which opened in 1958, is home to the First Division Museum, dedicated to the history of the “Big Red One,” the famed 1st Infantry Division of the U.S. Army. Many exhibits are interactive and all of them provide fascinating insights about America’s military, past and present.
