Who would think in the quaint town of Roscoe, IL would be a museum with literally a world-class collection of History spanning from Pre-Civil Was to current times! While there are amazing original cars of Presidents (the Kennedy area is unbelievable!), famous people and movie cars, that is only a small amount of what is here. The Abraham Lincoln room includes items found only here that have survived and all verified by experts and the history of how those pieces came to be in the collection (including actual hair of Lincoln, his wife, the actual coin laid over Lincoln's eyes immediately after death and too many others to list - amazing!!) There are many areas in the museum, each it's own theme and era - all have extreme historical significance and all historically verified by experts from around the world. When you go, make sure you have TONY guide you through as many items have far deeper stories then what you will find on the plaques. His research, insight and connections with those involved is nothing short of incredible! History came to life here in a way no amount of book reading or research can match. This is a Must See for history lovers, Auto enthusiasts and those who just appreciate seeing and learning of the many exhibits that are the only surviving pieces in the world.

The Stone Bridge Trail is a gem. You can bike or walk or use snowmobiles in winter. The trail is made with small gravel stones. In the summer and spring you will see beautiful wild flowers on both sides of the trail. It’s easy to bike or walk on the path. The historic Stone Bridge can be viewed by walking down a wooden staircase. It’s a lovely piece of history. I can highly recommend this place.
