Erlander Museum
The Erlander Home Museum is a cultural centerpiece of Rockford's Swedish ancestry community,and a major asset of the Society. The Museum is located within the home which was built for John Erlander and his family in 1871, within the historic Haight Village of Rockford.
Collections include Rockford-made furniture and many artifacts recalling Swedish immigration to northern Illinois and Rockford's Swedish heritage.
The Museum is open Tuesday thru Friday and on Sundays from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. Because of the size of the Museum and the availability of guides, large groups should call for special arrangements.
