Ethnic Heritage Museum Tour
Sunday August 21, 2011 from 2:00pm - 4:00pm
Ethnic Heritage Museum
1129 S Main St
Rockford, Illinois 61101 Get Directions
Local history lives on in a quaint home built in 1850 and known today as The Ethnic Heritage Museum. There, you will find six fascinating galleries devoted to the primary immigrant groups that settled in southwest Rockford, IL. African-American, Hispanic, Irish, Italian, Lithuanian and Polish. Through displays of early Rockford's maps, everyday artifacts, vintage clothing and more, visitors of all ages can learn about Old Worldcustoms and traditions. Historical photographs tell the stories of the earliest settlers who established factories near the old "waterpower district" and built their homes nearby. By comparing early with current lifestyles, the museum strives to bridge the gap between yesterday and today ... encouraging visitors to relive the past with a clear focus on Rockford's bright future.
