Never seem to get there in-season to see the museum, but the general store does sell some lovely Scandahoovian kitsch, and about the widest selection of locally sourced preserves as I've seen.

The Agricultural Crash Monument is a hysterical historical site!…read more You'll find it along Route 71 a few miles south of the village of Norway, IL. It's a local monument that dramatically illustrates the fatal crash of American agriculture in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Be prepared! When you're zipping along Rte 71 and come upon the monument, your first thought will be, "QUICK! CALL 9-1-1!"

I knew just by looking at her I was not going to like her. Long wait just to deal with bs and deal with her being beyond annoying and ignorant to me for no reason when it could have been a fast and smooth process. Also had to pay a extra $30 thanks to scam IL. If my license was not expired I would have not renewed my IL license since I been trying to find a house out of state. Fk this dmv and Jordie.

I have noticed a difference in High School & College Library versus that of your public library,…read morewhat is that difference you may ask.... Well I will tell you the difference is noise, and this library is. Loud loud loud! The problem with public libraries is just that they are open to the public and every weirdo and crazy is allowed access. Police calls and rude behavior are common where as in a school setting the clientele are usually interested in studying and learning, if not the librarian just may crack them with a ruler. On a more positive note the library has an annex where they can hold presentations and seminars typically at no charge, events may range from historical, to hobbies to children reading programs. Despite all the noise and distractions the Reddick library is involved in the community, for a quiet place to read I give it one star for community involvement I give them a 5.

Popped in to see what they had in the way of local history and learned they had a large roomful of…read morebooks focusing on the county, but including surrounding counties and the state - even reaching down to Mt. Vernon. Staff was very helpful. It was a Saturday, but the place was pretty quiet (and I'm a bit fussy about noisy libraries.) Bonus was buying a paperback book that offered an insider's view of the restaurant/bar business.

I really enjoyed this stop in my trip down Route 66.

Ton jumped out and introduced himself as the owner - asked our names, where we were from, gave us a bunch of history on the place and the area, all before we even went inside! Inside was something else! It's very Coca-Cola focused but it's quite a site to behold. Frankly my favorite part of the stop was getting a chance to chat with Tom and feel hos excitement and energy around the Route and its history. He provided us with some Route books that came in super helpful and gave us tips for the trip. Wonderful stop.

I learned so much today! The mansion history was very interesting and the history about Ottawa was…read morefascinating too. The tour was ten dollars and was well worth it.

They were so excited about my 5yo being so into reading already! My 5yo was really excited to get her own card and the children's librarian made it a big deal which made my daughter feel very special. They have several spaces for young kids to play and sit and read. They have DVDs you can check out for free for 5 days, plenty of books. They have a lot of cool events going on over there throughout the year including Storytimes for different ages. We will be visiting this library for a loooong time.
