Beautiful old courthouse. Floors are marble, great detail inside with wide stairs and ceiling. Lots of exhibits on each floor. If you are local or know family local the library is a treasure trove of historical information. ( people there to help you ) If you visit on a Saturday during summer farmers market, its free. ( air-conditioned) My grandson, aged 7, enjoyed the visit as well. Route 66, changing exhibits.

Rader Family Farms is a fourth generation working farm located in Bloomington - Normal, Illinois. We open a portion of the farm to the public in the fall, giving people the opportunity to spend a day outside and get a feel for agricultural life. Tons of outdoor activities like hayrack rides, a jumping pillow, apple cannons, acres of u-pick and fresh picked pumpkins, fresh made food, specialty coffees and drinks, live animals and so much more to help you make memories, just on the edge of Normal.
My grandkids love being on the farm and having fun. They even learn a few things while they are there too.
