On June 4th, 2025, our museum hosted a tour for S.I.U. ‘s Center for English as a Second Language group (C.E.S.L.). Dr. Colin Robinson of SIU brought 18 foreign students in for the tour after having toured the AISIN factory in Marion. The students were from a diverse range of locations around the globe including Japan, S. Korea, Laos, Indonesia, Timor Leste, Ivory Coast, Panama, Nicaragua, Chile and the island of Comoros.
This is the second year Dr. Robinson has brought the students here for a tour and it turns out to be a pleasurable experience for all involved.
