SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – As a result of updated COVID-19 mitigations, the Illinois State Museum (ISM) will reopen its flagship facility in Springfield and Dickson Mounds Museum in Lewistown on Tuesday, January 26, with health and safety precautions in place. The ISM Research and Collections Center, also located in Springfield, will reopen by appointment only. The ISM Lockport Gallery in Lockport remains closed under Tier 3 mitigations.
“We are thankful that we have reached this milestone and can safely reopen the Illinois State Museum and continue operating as we were in November,” said Museum Director Cinnamon Catlin-Legutko. “We have so much planned for this year – new exhibits, programs, and initiatives – and we are excited to see visitors return.”

Irving “Irv” Seltzer of Duncansville died Friday and is being remembered as a Blair County businessman, Rotarian, philanthropist and leader.
“Irv never did anything halfway. He put his heart and soul into everything he did,” said Joe Hurd, president/CEO of the Blair County Chamber. “You don’t realize until after someone is gone the void that is left by his passing.”
Altoona businessman Larry McAleer said he knew Seltzer as a client in his plumbing and heating business, as a Rotarian and friend.
“I was really, really lucky to see a lot of Irv,” McAleer said. “Irv always seemed to be calm. He didn’t rattle. He was steady all the time.”
