Great museum about the Depression Era

Overall rating:

If you want to learn about the Depression Era and it's criminals, this is the place to go. With information everywhere you look and displays you can interact with, you can learn a lot. My 4 year old was a little nervous about the wax figures, but liked looking around and playing a little with the displays.

With the new Depp movie filmed in and around Indiana, Wisconsin and Illininois was enough of a draw to make me go through the Indiana Welcome Center's John Dillinger Museum. (Crime does not pay). Walk through the various exhibits and journey into the real America's past. Visit the gangster era and see their outcome. The John Dillinger Museum “Crime doesn’t pay”, is now open in the award-winning Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond, IN. Guests are invited to learn about the birth of the FBI as they chase the John Dillinger and his gang through the Midwest. The museum includes interactive displays, life-size wax figures and educational and historical displays. Included are the notable “death trousers” (the pants Dillinger was wearing when he was shot outside of the Biograph Theater in Chicago), the infamous wooden gun, Dillinger’s lucky rabbits foot and more.
