I really enjoyed visiting the museum, the architecture was beautiful, all that marble. Walking in the footsteps of the people that built the city... same places that President Lincoln walked through when passing through from Springfield to visit his friend and mentor Davis Davis.

I was able to make it to the McLean Museum in time to see the exhibits they had it was a very nice and well kept the museum. Apparently this is actually a courthouse that Abraham Lincoln practiced law in, this time when I went in the exhibit was the pedal cars and stories about the early pioneers and early settlers of the nation. Definitely a nice time, you should try to go, if this is something that interests you.

Excellent tour. John was our tour guide and he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

This Museum is very neat, I am glad we stopped at it! It is in the old court house. The building is beautiful and the lay out is done well. It gives the history of the town. The ladies are amazingly nice and great. It is a small Museum, there isnt alot. It took us maybe an hour to go through it. Would definitely recommend for any family.

Really enjoyed ourselves here. There are two floors of things to look at . So maybe with my advancing age I enjoy looking at things like county museums, but my son and daughter in law who are in there twenties enjoyed it too. Five bucks to get in? What a steal. If you got an hour or two to kill in Bloomington and youre down town or anywhere actually in town since its easy to get to, stop by and check it out. Not like some of the other county museums Ive been in and definitely five times better than my counties museum.

Every Tuesday is Free Admission! Its a beautiful building, with an incredible Library & Archive with amazing staff eager to help you!One afternoon spent looking at our small town history, and Im obsessed. Debating joining the McLean County Historical Society!

Lunch & Learn is always interesting & free!The museum is a must-stop if youre doing Route 66. The board at the entrance of the museum offers free (or cheap) things to do in town. I like visiting the museum! Ask to buy a soda from their old fashioned soda fountain! It still works after all these decades!

This museum is great for kids of all ages! I have two young children and was hesitant, thinking it was full of artifacts and things to read, but a friend recommended the discovery room and it was so cool! Kids can interact with everything in this room and it is filled with objects that recreate what life was like in McLean County a long time ago. Both kids had an absolute blast! We checked out the other exhibits, as well, and I feel like I learned some interesting information. We will definitely be coming back to visit again.

Nice local history museum. Gives a nice representation of how the area developed over the last few hundred years and who the settlers were. Details local citizens who had a hand in shaping McLean County. There are varied exhibits to have something for everyone and enough popular culture items to keep younger minds interested. The court house and the courtroom are very impressive. The Lincoln Era connections are very interesting. Well worth your time to visit!

Very friendly staff, helpful and seem to love their jobs. There was a situation, but they solved it quickly. I will be coming back with my family in November when they open the new part of the museum

Staff was very friendly and the building itself is beautiful and the architecture is so amazing also the museum is very fun and informative

Historically historic. Be the light around there. Needs some good spirit around the area right around. Safe area and allot of art, great art around the area. Check the store fronts of of Market St especially. You can sit next to Abe Lincoln out front, which I think is pretty cool. Allot of history right around the Museum and respect for our military and veterans. The homeless around there are very kind and wouldnt mind telling you cool stuff about the area. They arent your average people. Very friendly area. Be the light. They need it. Farmers Market days are awesome right around the Museum. Very well kept building.

To begin with, the architecture of the building and the historical downtown is beautiful. Our favorite spot inside is the childrens room with antique toys and some down on the farm activities and dress up clothes. The dome is gorgeous as well as the marble everything! You can feel the history, highly recommend!

The McLean County Museum is magnificent. Before going I really did not expect much, and I was wrong! The vinyettes were so well arranged and informative. I highly recommend everyone to go to this museum, as you will not be disappointed!

So proud for B/N to have such a great museum presenting everything and more about McLean County history.

Their history camp is THE BEST camp in BloNo. My kids love it and look forward to it every year.

Really nice museum, wish I had more time to spend there, I look forward to coming back again. Man at desk was really nice and helpful.

Beautiful selections, great volunteers, and an amazing staff!!

Nice place to visit. Has alot of history inside and the building itself. Old courthouse from back in the day. Free admission on Tuesdays and Saturdays during farmers market only.

Surprisingly good for a small town. Would definitely recommend going.

This was a great place to do our presentations! We had a lot of fun and the library looks amazing!

Magnificent!! Just the architecture alone is breathtaking. The displays are easy to peruse. ...not cluttered

A beautiful building with a variety of interesting and informative exhibits. The staff was really friendly. A nice place to spend a few hours.

Definantly was neat for a smaller museum ;) peddle cars were super cool

Very informative, self guided tour. Didnt realize how much time Lincoln spent in Bloomington.

The steampunk festival was so fun. The museum is a great place to learn about Mclean county history.

It will be a good place to visit and learn about some things if you have the time

Excellent exhibits of local history that well represents the culture of not only McLean County but also central Illinios too. The courtroom is very well restored and to experience it as what it was like when Abraham Lincoln practiced law there is pretty cool. The museum has something of interest for all ages. Make sure you get a picture with Abe Lincoln (sculpture) as he is sitting on a bench in front on the museum. Note: use the entrance on the South side of the building.

I enjoyed the friendly and well knowledgeable staff members. The building itself is well designed. My favorite exhibit is the Pedal Power toy cars. A must see if you are ever in the Bloomington - Normal area ...

Great local museum. Always good displays and presentations.

Beautiful old courthouse now houses a top rate museum and archives/library with helpful staff.

The staff could not have been any more friendlier than what they were. This museum has both route 66 stuff as well as Lincoln stuff. Highly recommended and definitely a museum bigger than its local name.

They have a very nice museum. It has a lot of basic local displays, several video presentations and has a good amount of history on Abraham Lincoln.

Good exhibits. Well organized.

Very nice museum! Enjoyed my visit. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

My 7 year old son chose to go back here instead of playing Pokemon.... That says a lot! This place is fascinating

The staff are very helpful. The museum houses more resources than I imagined. The building is also architecturally historic.

Its a really good place to visit.

Ive watched this museum be restored to its present glory. This a place youll want to visit more then once. Awesome exhibits.

Great local history with modern exhibits!

My granddaughter enjoyed the prairie room and the two-story vault in the library the most. Well worth the price of admission!

I love museums. Since I lived in McLean County its nice to see the history and the new items they have gotten for their displays

Very friendlyLots of cool thingsFun play areas for kids who likes to touch thingsMy only problem isThey are not the cleanestThere was no tour guideNot enough sights to see at this museum it is kind if boring if you have kids.

I didnt go in I just walked by but I have been in there before and its amazing check it out

Nice little museum. Love the free day on Tuesday.

This place is a wonderful museum. The exhibits are very interesting and modern. Locals as well as visitors come to the Museum for an excellent time!

I grabbed a Uber and went to just have something to do. Im a truck driver stuck here on a hot day. There is a lot of history in that museum, much of which is national history. I enjoy seeing local stuff, but this turned out to be much more. I was surprised locals I talked to hadnt gone through it. Just $5 for adults, and so much to learn about.

Hidden treasure. Amazing staff!

Museum tour. Well worth the time. Recommend without reservation.

Many interesting lectures offered at lunch time.

So very interesting. I learned more about Lincolns legal activity in this country than I had anywhere else, even Springfield, IL.

Great little museum with interactive elements. Perfect for families.

A fun and informative stop on a road trip. Definitely worth the detour off the interstate to learn about the local history.

This is a must-go-see place in Bloomington. Lots of history - a great staff and cool things to take home with you. Their Route 66 display is really neat. Check it out.

Love this place love this area its a relaxing a atmosphere

Alot of McLean County history. Treasure trove of information.

Very educational and easy to maneuver Museum handicap accessible Route 66 Museum also lots to learn about Lincoln and the forefathers of this community very family-friendly and a place where Lincoln practiced his law

Attend the Veterans Day program

Inside of the old county courthouse, which has some fine architectural details. Recommend visiting.

While the Museum regularly has informative and engaging exhibits, my favorite part of the whole building is the library. I have spent hours there looking through books or using the Microfilm Viewers to look at films Id ordered from FamilySearch. I joined the museum earlier this year and plan to be a continuous member.

I love the Museum! The annual Cemetery Walk is something I never miss.

Awesome place! Very hands on and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful!

I was pleasantly surprised by this museum, very friendly staff.

Its an amazing experience there
