Cute little museum - kids had fun going through it. Some hands on things, and lots to see.
Loved it. Small but really packed with interest. Nice little side trip before lunch!
Now in its new, unassuming location in a concrete and asphalt business park (instead of it's original, nice surroundings in a real, green park), the staff has nevertheless created a modern, thoroughly impressive museum showcasing a fair amount of the history of Lake County and its peoples, both native and immigrant. The museum is now much larger than before, with a mix of information making it suitable for all levels including children and those who wish to delve into more detail. Definitely worth a visit, and I hope Lake County eventually creates an annual museum pass. One comment about time: those who are quick surface browsers may spend 60-90 minutes, but those who wish to read and discuss all of the exhibit material may wish to do so over a2-3 hour period of time.
It was good. Should have been better if there were more interactive kids things.
Spent 2 1/2 hours at the museum today, with my grandchildren (ages 9 and 10). They loved it, especially the Native American exhibit, which was also my favorite. They were excited to recognize some of the speakers on the video from the drumming and storytelling gathering a few weeks ago. My granddaughter wished she could spend the night sleeping on the bear skin!
The only complaint was from my granddaughter, who wished the log cabin, hands-on exhibit from the old facility, would have been at this new one. She remembers it fondly, from when she was 6, and how much fun she and her brother had pretending to be Lake County pioneers.
An overall great learning time for all three of us. It helps them appreciate the history of the forest preserve trails I've taken them to, so far, over the last few years, and how to respect Mother Nature's gifts to us all.
THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!
