Behind The Scenes: Meet Brian Ulrich

Brian, an El Paso native and our curator, is key to our mission’s success. His resume includes projects with The History Channel, Discovery Channel, CBS’s hit show The Amazing Race, and Disney - just to name a few!
Brian’s talent has taken the Project XV vision and turned it into a reality - a vibrant museum that helps to educate and empower our community…. and beyond.
We can’t do any of this without your support. It matters more now than ever.

May is Historic Preservation Month - and at Project XV Museum, we’re proud to celebrate through the restoration of our historic home at 1 W. Front St. in El Paso Illinois.
Breathing new life into this building wasn’t just about aesthetics - it was about honoring the past and investing in the future. Restoring historic buildings helps:
⭐️ Preserve local character and identity
🌎 Reduce environmental impact through reuse
💼 Boost local economies and create jobs
📚 Provide a powerful space to tell important stories

Our building now stands as a vibrant reminder that the fight for voting rights - and the people who carried it - deserve a place of dignity and permanence. Thanks for supporting preservation and helping history live on.
