A reason for the closing wasn’t given in the release.

The South Shore CVA said it had “created a number of special events to increase visitation at the museum and the city’s downtown.” 

“The museum was an asset to Crown Point’s downtown as it generated additional foot traffic to our local merchants and brought in visitors from across the nation that may not have normally stopped in Crown Point,” Mayor David Uran said in the release. “The museum not only economically helped our city, but it told the story of our local law enforcement, the FBI and ultimately that crime doesn’t pay,”

The museum followed the lives of depression era gangsters and the rise of the FBI.

According to the release, updates for the Museum will be posted at www.dillingermuseum.com as they become available.
