I have been involved with the Museum for thirty years and served as its Chairmain of the Board (1989-1991). There is an old expression when stated is "If it will play in Peoria, it will play anywhere". It is a testament to the people of this area that perseverance prevailed and this dream is now a reality! My only regret is that the matriarch of Lakeview, Sally Page, is not with us to celebrate the opening of this grand facility.
