Meet the staff
Meet the Museum DirectorMeet the man behind the scenes, the director of Veterans Memorial Hall and Museum – our very own Scott Lewandowski! Not only does he keep the ship sailing smoothly, but he's also the powerhouse driving the Annual Veterans Dinner and the Memorial Day Parade.
Scott joined the Winnebago County team back in May 2007 to oversee the operations of Veterans Memorial Hall and Museum. Since then, he's been on a mission to make things even more awesome. From implementing fancy Museum collection management software to boosting rentals and public awareness, Scott's been on a roll.
He's not just about numbers and software though. Scott's passion led to the creation of the Armistice-a Memorial to Peace, a project that involved moving and restoring a 123-year-old Civil War Statue!
And hold onto your hats, folks! During his time at the hall, Scott managed to secure over $750,000 in grant funds! Funds that have been instrumental to the New landscaping, the increased access to the building, new exhibit cases, and so much more.
Next time your in town stop in and say hello!
