    I've passed here a couple of times and thought it looked like more than I would expect. It was…read more It is very clean and a great bathroom stop too. There are racks of area brochures. A cute pond inside. There was a cool flight simulator, but either it wasn't working or I was the malfunction and couldn't figure it out. Nice stop for area information.

    When you're traveling, a good source for information about the area in which you are traveling is…read morethe convention and visitors bureau. Over the years, I've run into some good some and some bad ones, this is a particularly good one. While most C&VB are loaded with local info, this one stands out for both having lots of good info but also for being a very new and attractive facility. The staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. Freeport is a very interesting area, there is a lot of history here beyond the famous Lincoln-Douglas Debate that was held here. The city also has its own carousel in Krape Park, which is identified here in the southwest corner of the showroom with a representative model and two carousel horses on display. The city of Lena, not far from Freeport, boasts a brick water tower, and a large model of the water tower is on display here. The C&VB is conveniently located on US 20, just east of town and just before the highway turns north to bypass the city. If you're westbound, you can quickly stop on your way into town. If you're eastbound, it's worth bypassing the city to visit here, then backtrack into town. Freeport has a lot to offer, the visitors bureau is a good place to learn about it all!
