Joliet Area Historical Museum - Joliet (IL)

5 /5 Lisa Hockersmith: Awesome museum. Very well put together. Mostly Joliet history vs route 66, but still really well done.

5 /5 Ranger Rick: I decided to drive route 66 for my 66th birthday. This was my starting point and I must say the 2 young ladies at the counter were fantastic and very helpful. This was the best way to start my birthday road adventure.

5 /5 TravelLin (Lin): Staffs were friendly and chatty which is so impressive, and I appreciate their help. The museum has two floors. There are so many excellent displays, and you can learn everything about Joliet from here. If you are on a road trip on Route 66 and want to take a good picture, don’t forget to buy the Route 66 Soda, check out the picture below.

5 /5 Matt Zurek: There are a lot of fun photo opportunities near the entry and throughout the museum. Nice gift shop, t-shirts are ~$25. The gift shop also has sweatshirts, baseball caps, ladies handbags, and candles. The museum has several video presentation areas, all with plenty of comfortable seating. Some interactive displays as well. There is a rooftop deck that has a music guest, and it looks like it would be summertime fun. There is a public parking garage under two blocks away for $1.00 an hour.

5 /5 Brian: Tickets are inexpensive. Parking is on the street and there is a lot on the east side of the street. It doesnt take long to get through and there is a lot to read. Interesting stop to learn about the history of Joliet.
