Hieronymus Mueller Museum

The Hieronymus Mueller Museum, established in 1995 by the Hieronymus Mueller Family Foundation, is dedicated to preserving and interpreting the rich history of the Mueller Company and the legacy of Hieronymus Mueller and his descendants. Located just west of downtown Decatur, Illinois, the museum houses an extensive collection of artifacts, memorabilia, and library materials related to the Mueller family's industrial heritage.

The museum tells important stories, including the significant roles women played in the Mueller Company throughout its history. Highlights include the anecdote of the "Rocking Chair Club," where newly married employees were gifted rocking chairs as a symbol of appreciation by the company during the 1920s.
