About this place

A local history museum in Belvidere displaying artefacts from Boone County's past. Families can explore exhibits about the region's role in American wars, see a genuine Wooly Mammoth thighbone discovered locally, and try hands-on activities like a fossil dig. The Sowing Season exhibit includes interactive features such as a working cow to milk and a farmers market setup. The building also houses historic objects including an 1840s cabin, a nineteenth-century hearse, and the first car made at the Belvidere Chrysler Plant.

If you are a member here

A membership to Boone County Museum of History carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in this program.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
