About this place

A museum in downtown Joliet housed in a former Methodist church, presenting the area's history through permanent and changing displays. Visitors encounter stories about local people and places with the help of audio-visual presentations, life-size figures, and interactive touch screens. The museum opened in 2002 and operates as part of a larger organization that also maintains several other historic sites around Joliet, including a former prison, a grocery store museum, and a railroad museum.

If you are a member here

A membership to Joliet Area Historical Museum 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
