Illinois Rural Heritage Museum - Pinckneyville (IL)

5 /5 Erica: This place is awesome! Took my kids for a field trip. A man and his wife run the place and they are the nicest people. I was not expecting the extensive array of knowledge that was gathered here. They taught out kids how to make ropes and answered all their questions. My kids thought this place was so cool and like the couple so much, they didnt want to leave and want to go back!

5 /5 Joseph Kora: Its a fantastic 17,000 square foot slice of turn of the century and later life. Our guide was informative and engaging. The exhibits were well put together. It was a definite surprise. I would absolutely recommend it. There was no admission price, so you are risking nothing.

5 /5 Allan Fenske: Very much enjoyed our visit to the Museum. The collection over all was very interesting, especially the Quilts and the mortuary display. Our grand daughters really enjoyed themselves at the rope making demonstration. The staff were wonderful. Really special place.

5 /5 Angie Dare: My 9 year old son and I really enjoyed our visit! The couple who run the museum are friendly and very knowledgeable. There is a huge collection and a lot to see! Very interesting! We even got a homemade jump rope at the end.

5 /5 Sherri Nunya: Fantastic displays of our past and how we lived, what items we used to ease our labors. Shocking to see what Ive read about so much! The kitchen was so much more laborious. Obvious that weve, as a whole have forgotten that our ancestors were tenaciously strong and multitalented. Very interesting place that Id enjoy returning to, just to go slower to really take in more details.
