Illinois State Museum
About this place
A museum in Springfield that explores Illinois history through collections of objects, art, and recorded stories. Families can see exhibitions about Route 66, including vintage signs and neon lights, learn about childhood in mid-20th-century Illinois, and discover the state's natural and cultural heritage. The museum runs programs for young children during the summer, with activities suited to ages 18 months and up. A sister site at Lockport Gallery shows related exhibitions, while the research collections center operates by appointment only.
