On May 5th we visited Midway Village. It was our first time going, so it was interesting.
Here is a description taken right from their website:
"The museum is a Victorian Village (1890 to 1910) of 24 historical buildings filled with artifacts of the era as well as several beautiful 19th century gardens. Interpreters in authentic period dress are available seasonally for guided tours. The main museum building holds a number of permanent exhibits reflecting Rockford's history and culture that include The Girls of Summer: Rockford Peaches of the AAGPBL, Queen City of the Prairies: Rockford's First 20 Years and The Missing Link: Socks, Monkeys and Rockford's Industrial Past."
Every 15 minutes a bell rings, which signals when it's time to change stations. We visited a barn where we learned a dance. We also checked out the law, bank, church, blacksmith, and store buildings. It's a nice place to visit if you are studying this time period.
