Bahai Welcome Center

Visitor center

👍👍 It has been over 2 decades since I came back for a visit. The weather was perfect to walk around and took some family pictures for memories. So relaxing coming here. The garden needs more plants and flowers.

👍👍 Morton Arboretum is one of our favorite destinations all year long. They have the Illuminations on during November and December and possibly some of January.

Fullersburg Woods Nature Education Center

Visitor center

👍👍 These photos were taken July 2022, almost a year ago. I haven’t been back recently, but definitely a serene place. Been here more than once. It has a beautiful path to walk, run, bicycle. The scenic view is meditative. I’ve only gone in the mornings before 10am. I’ve never seen what looks to be a...

Nachusa Grasslands - Visitor Center

Nature preserve

👍👍 This is a wonderful reserve with the emphasis set up on the animals. There is a nice pavilion with facts about the prairie and short trails for closer viewing. You might have to go several times to see any Bison up close. In my opinion, that's what makes it great. It's not a zoo with depressed anima...

Pullman National Historical Park Visitor Center

Visitor center

👍👍 Great new National Monument. Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Although we had a short covid wait to get in, the place is nice. Hopefully someday someone will donate a Pullman car to the park. I see a lot of potential with this park. It is good to walk around and get a good understanding of the effi...

Rock County Historical Society

Historical society

😠 Called on the way to the info. center. admission fees and locations were provided over the phone. Once we got there, fees doubled and we were informed that it wasn't one location, we had to pay for each building at a rate $30 vs. $5 per person. One of us stayed in the gift shop while the other used...

Atwood Center

Park

👍👍 A hidden gem in Rockford! What a cool place! I've only been here once so far, but I definitely plan to return.

Historic Pullman Foundation Exhibit Hall

Exhibit

🫤 There is only one mention of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters in the entire museum. See pic... Passing mention below the singular picture of a black railroad worker. The only woman executive mentioned is described as "a bitter dispirited woman." Just... Really?
