It's awfully hard to find American derived maple syrup these days. Most come from Canada, not that…read morethere's anything wrong with that. Funks Grove is a multi-generational business that has been sugaring maple in Illinois for well over 100 years. Unlike most Canadian syrup I've had this syrup was thicker and had a deeper, richer flavor. It was absolutely delicious, just what you'd want maple syrup to be and the price is not at all unreasonable.

Absolutely worth the drive. Best maple sirup we've ever had. Proprietress offered us a sample and…read morewe were sold. Enjoyed the gift shop and ended up taking home a half gallon of the liquid gold. This is the kind of hand made product you'll never find at the grocery store and thank goodness there are people still crafting delicacies like this the old fashioned way. The operation is just north of Mclean on Old Route 66. According to the Funks Grove online website, production of maple sirup goes all the way back to the 1820s soon after Isaac Funk chose this location for his homestead. Still in the family, these wonderful people are keeping alive a delicious taste of early American culture.

First, staff is great, very helpful, told me about the THREE buildings FULL of items/treasure. I admit, I'm coming back this week bc I need to go through all the buildings again...row after row of items in excellent shape and quite frankly, pretty good prices...they did tell me if I found an item i was unsure on price, they could call the seller...anyway, not only antiques, but much more mid century (MCM) cool items than anywhere I've seen....i ended up making a couple of purchases and have my eye on a couple more...I really enjoy the older vs new *rap they make today!!! again, I'm coming back lolol!

Hard to find records and other artifacts. The staff certainly knows a lot about what they have, and will help find something. As in places like this, the music is the main thing of course. It has a lot to look through. They, as the name implies, specialize in vinyl. Great place to find more popular artists. Or more obscure. Also despite the name they also have other forms of music such as CDs. These like the records also are obsolete so might as well have these. Has a big collection of new and old items. It seems most people come in and just look around, but some people actually buy something. The main thing is the vinyl.
