National Museum of African American Music

Museum

👍👍 Not enough time. That's all I can think of when reminiscing about my visit there. It was very interactive, meaning we were able to click on an artist and see who they've influenced, who influenced them, and who were their peers. In the room dedicated to music from 1985 to early 2000s, there was a m...

Jefferson Street Sound

Museum

👍👍 The time and effort that Lorenzo and team have put into this place is absolutely amazing. I am a huge Jimi Hendrix fan and that's why I went. But I learned so much about black music and black history of the time. Lorenzo actually met Jimi Hendrix. Billy Cox apparently is still in the area. Absolutel...

Polar Express - Monticello, IL

Museum

👍👍 Very well done and put together. We got the regular seats and had a blast with our kids. They dance in the aisle and the kids are asked to join if interested. Santa and Frosty made an appearance and that was a huge hit as well. The conductor did a great job stamping the kids names on the ticket. Eve...

Franklin Depot Railroad Museum

Museum

👍👍 Took my son to get some candy & "weird flavored" sodas. Only saw the railroad museum briefly & it looked pretty neat. We definitely plan on visiting the museum, sometime in the near future. Customer service was great in the candy store part, I'm assuming it would be the same at the museum.
