U.S. Senator Paul Simon Museum

Mission Statement

The U.S. Senator Paul Simon Museum, located in Troy, Illinois, is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the late U.S. Senator Paul Simon.  The museum will seek to preserve Simon's life-long works, as a newspaper editor/publisher, educator, author, public official and most importantly a respected humanitarian.  The museum will focus on youth civics education as we actively seek to engage citizens of all ages in thoughtful and meaningful conversation and  participation within their local, state and federal government.  We will also encourage "active citizenship" with our local communities as well as the greater global community.
