For a small fee, you get to immerse yourself for hours and go back in time and learn the origins of this town from an Indian trail to being part of the industrial revolution and beyond! This place features a couple of movie theaters which go very in depth which I didn't have time to get through. It's got a mock 1920s down town area, beautifully detailed area showing what it was like building the I&M canal. They even do parties with rooms downstairs and upstairs on the rooftop.

There was a live demonstration of the stone wheel grinding corn into corn meal. There are three stories, with the top two being a museum and the basement floor part of the Underground Railroad station shop. Taking back into little known American History were relics of the slave trade. The museum entrance fee was $6 for adults. The outside grounds were kept nicely and there was a short trail along the river.

I was so surprised to see such history and beauty next to a big busy highway. There is a spacious parking lot tucked away as to not impede on the surrounding beauty. The beautifully elegant building looked so interesting. The age was apparent but it was in exquisite condition. We did not go in as it was not open. We walked around it and enjoyed it from the outside. I am looking forward to returning soon. We checked out the big water wheel and bridge and took some pretty photos that did not do justice to the natural beauty of the area. We then walked along the pretty trail inside all of the foliage along the water. It wasn't too crowded so we had space to take our time and enjoy. It was so nice to see the mix of families and singles enjoying nature and some fresh air. Once we were done with our lovely walk, we went next door to the nearby pub for a casual meal. What a great area that deserves another visit.

Philip Randolph Pullman Porter Museum for a pleasant surprise. I live in South Pullman and did not know nor had I ever ventured to this pleasure within blocks of my home. After checking out the website and confirming they were open, I ventured over. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the visit and meeting the founder. Don't miss this! Looking forward to holding some private and public events at the Museum and happy I don't have to go far to do so.

I was visiting Chicago for a conference and was thrilled to be able to make it to this museum…read more History such as this is not well known and it is amazing that this museum is doing all it can to preserve it. It was very informative, educational, and the staff was very polite and knowledgeable. I look forward to returning to the museum and also to explore the Pullman National Monument. Here, I learned the Pullman Porter was a respectable career in the eyes of many including the Porters themselves and their families; but without labor regulations and racism, these men were not paid living wages nor treated with dignity. The union and the labor battles they formed, under the fine leadership of A. Philip Randolph, undoubtedly paved the way for not only the March on Washington and Civil Rights movements, but also crucial Labor legislation and movements that have granted a fairer workplace today. This history must be preserved for all Americans to witness and I am thankful this homely museum is doing just that.

For some insane reason, they have decided to "feature" the 1980's. Poorly. A quiz about TV commercials in the 80's. We were there with children, 30-somethings, and a tourist from another country. No one knew any of these answwers and they wouldn't stop. NOTHING about the newspaper printing in the 1800's. Blacksmith was at least about being a blacksmith, but no history. School - "Well, schools were pretty much the same as they are now. Not like this one." Our kids understood that Twister was a game and movies were on a tape in the 80's. But they were not interested. Nice craft opportunity with the scrunchee. But not about early settlement. If not for the mansion, 2 stars (things were open to go inside, at least). I will check carefully again before I would take kids for any history that they would care about. Must be a big draw for the 50 -60 year olds! Huge disappointment for us and our grade-school kids.

I am a huge fan of cheap fun, and with no entry fee, it went pretty far here. The small fair was held at the raceway, so this was not a huge statewide sized event. Overall the prices were fairly good. Funnel cakes were 3.50 and so were beers so there is absolutely no room to complain. The rides were a little pricey at 1$ per ticket if you didn't but they sheet of them, but my son loved the little train too much to pass it up. The big highlight for us though were the animals. There were cows, sheep, pigs, goats, horses, chickens, bunnies and pigeons for judging and my son was in heaven. I swear some of those cows were cared for more than I am. In my whole life I have never seen cows so big either. They were in open stalls too so my boy could pet them, though I'm not sure if he was actually supposed to. There were also pony rides, some of the best people watching I have ever had in my life, tractors, a box with bunnies you could pick up, oh and a cage full of bears. Yup, real live black bears for your viewing pleasure. The animal lover in me was a little appalled, the rest of me loved it, but not enough to pay 4$ for a picture with one. This was no luncheon at the Ritz, nor was it an evening at the opera, but it was totally awesome and I can't wait to go again next year!
