Central Illinois is home to Abraham Lincoln, Route 66, and Midwest rural life. Local history comes alive in our local museums and historical sites. When a guest is able to read, visit a historic place, look at an artifact, appreciate images or study real documents, we create learned connections. The information and sites found in our communities provide supplemental information not found in classrooms and may also include object-based learning that includes touchable glimpses into the past beyond that a textbook offers.
