Jerry’s Hat Museum

Tucked away in Central Illinois is a delightfully unexpected treasure: Jerry’s Hat Museum — a place where headwear takes center stage and every brim tells a story. Founded by Jerry, a man with an infectious passion for hats, this renovated church has been transformed into a jaw-dropping museum that captures the imagination of all who visit. From vintage classics to outlandish oddities, Jerry’s collection spans decades and styles. Each hat is meticulously curated, and no two hats are the same. With over 16,000 hats in his collection, Jerry is running out of wall space. But don’t overlook his abundant collection of pens, pencils, and local memorabilia from the area in the basement!
