The Geneva History Museum is proud to announce that we have achieved accreditation by the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), the highest national recognition afforded the nation’s museums. Accreditation signifies excellence to the museum community, to governments, funders, outside agencies, and to the museum-going public.
Of the nation’s estimated 33,000 museums, 1,096 are currently accredited, roughly 3% of all museums in the United States! We are also the first museum in Kane County to receive this distinction. Click the link to see AAM's official press release.
