    This place is a little gem and we had an amazing experience here! Alan was an exceptionally knowledgeable guide and took special interest in pointing out items of historical significance. He even spent a great deal of time answering all the millions of questions posed by our seven year old!! Thankyou Alan!
  • By Rick Langlois
    An excellent museum with very high quality displays produced by volunteers. Walking through the museum and looking at the displays you would think the entire place was laid out, designed and produced by professional museum designers. Well worth a visit. Especially if you live in Champaign County and haven't ever been there.
