The SWUA Slovenian Heritage Museum in Joliet, Ill., was founded in 1978 by Irene M. Odorizzi, then-SWUA heritage director. Dedicated in 1983, the museum is maintained by volunteers from Joliet Branch #20.  Branches and members from all over the U.S. contribute to the displays and exhibits either monetarily or with artifacts.  All donations are welcome.

EXHIBITS AND DISPLAYS: Artifacts, memorabilia, ancestral keepsakes, photos, rare books, and mementoes from Slovenia are accepted for display.

MEMORIAL PLAQUE: Donations ($100) are accepted for the Memorial Plaque displayed in the museum. You may have your name or that of a friend or relative, engraved on a metal plate and displayed on the walnut plaque.

MEMORIALS: Donations of lesser amounts are recognized with a lovely blue gift card. Acknowledge someone's birthday, anniversary, or special occasion with this unique remembrance.  Memorial cards are also available for the deceased.  This is a lovely way to remember an immigrant of Slovenian descent, one of the reasons why the Heritage Museum is in existence.

Orders and checks should be addressed to:
