Chester, Illinois - Popeye Museum

A little unsure where Segar Park was, we found ourselves in "downtown" Chester. In the the square was a quaint museum dedicated to the legend of Popeye, so we decided to pop in. We were immediately greeted by Debbie, who told us all about the foundation of Popeye, and how most of the characters in the comics were actual residents in Chester. The museum was little more than a big room, but every inch of the place was filled with Popeye memorabilia. We continued looking around and chatting with Debbie about Popeye and her 40 lb daschund before we had to get going. [Lindsey, 10/20/2003]
