Galena the City of History

If you love both architecture and history, you really should not miss heading over to the city of Galena. Located in Jo Daviess County, Galena is the largest city of the county and is a popular destination for Illinois charter bus visitors. This city is well known for its history, architecture and ski and golf resorts.

Once you enter the city of Galena, you would be blown away immediately by its beautiful historical architecture which is visible throughout the city. Galena was originally inhabited by Sac and Fox Native Americans but was settled by the French by late 17th century. However, the American settlers started to come in troves to settle in Galena by early 19th century and became a hub on the Mississippi River between St. Louis and St. Paul.

Right until the late 1980s, Galena remained as a small rural farming community. However, once Kraft Foods, Lemfco Foundry and many other industries setup their plants there, as well as when Galena’s mayor initiated a tourist campaign, Galena has changed drastically – for the good. Now, Galena is famous for its many different parades and fairs held for almost every celebration. Even their 32nd Halloween Parade has an overflowing turnout, with estimated 15,000 visitors.

Much of Galena’s buildings and architecture have been listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Once of the most popular historical building would be the Old Market House State Historic Site. Built in 1845, this building was erected as a city hall and public farmer’s market. After it was handed over to the state of Illinois, this building was extensively rebuilt and restored and is now a museum of Galena’s local social history and serves as a visitor services information desk.

If you walk along Main Street in Galena, you would see the unique architectural style and historic feel prevalent in its brick buildings. The state made many efforts to improve the existing infrastructure and yet preserve these beautiful buildings of character such as burying utilities and many beautification initiatives. For a look on church architecture, you can head over to Saint Michael’s Church. Named after one of the three archangels, this church was founded by pioneer priest Father Samuel Mazzuchelli.

When you visit Galena, don’t forget to drop by Main Street if you want a spot of shopping. As a charming small own, Main Street offers many specialty shops, quaint restaurants and wineries. You can always direct your Illinois charter bus driver to stop you at Galena’s many interesting attractions.

Wheels O’ Time Museum

Boys and wheels – this is something that is pretty much inseparable between these two. There’s always something about these two elements that makes boys, well, boys. And in recent years, perhaps even girls too! However, when it comes to visiting the Wheels O’ Time Museum with the boys and girls, we just want to say that it is not just something to do with two wheels, three wheels or four wheels, it has everything and anything to do with wheels! Sounds a little too farfetched and you can’t really imagine what we are talking about? Well, don’t just sit there and guess what we are saying, charter an Illinois bus and head on down to the museum to find out more. But, don’t come alone – bring the boys and girls with you!

If you have never been here before, you may want to know that the Wheels O’ Time Museum are only open from May to October, Wednesdays through Sundays, from noon right up to 5pm only. Hence if you are arranging for a IL bus to bring you and your family there, you will need to take into consideration the opening hours of the museum, so that you don’t get there too early that you will have to wait for them to open nor too late that you will find yourselves standing disappointingly at the closed entrance of the museum.

From the outside of the museum, it may not look too big or impressive to attract the attention of anyone, but as you enter into the Wheels O’ Time Museum, you will be greeted by the sounds of music from a player piano and a miniature circus parade inside a glass walled wagon. Not too far away from this exhibit, visitors arriving in an IL charter bus will then notice that it is a room full of ticking clocks – from small, delicate miniatures to those huge grandfather type of clocks. The friendly staff at the museum encourages visitors, especially kids, to participate as they tour the museum by pressing the buttons that are attached to many of the exhibits found in the museum and discover what the exhibit is able to do. This would be a fun thing to do for most kids – big or small ones! As you move on, you will also find that there is a great collection of vintage cars – all lined up neatly as though they are on a parade of a car exhibition. Don’t forget to check out the antique bicycles that are found at a corner of the exhibition hall and they also have other displays like cameras, dolls as well as original Star Wars figurines from the late 70s and early 80s.

Getting tired of the concrete jungle? Can’t seem to find inspiration at work? Going through a rough patch in your relationship? Need a respite from the stress? Then Garfield Park Conservatory is the place that you are looking for! Forget about budgeting for a holiday or group charter bus vacation somewhere outside of Illinois because here is the perfect place to forget things for a while and simply spend a couple of hours in full admiration of the exhibits and park.

The conservatory was started and managed by the residents and communities around it so, it has a special place in the residents’ hearts. The best thing about visiting the park and conservatory is that there is no admission fee but visitors are encouraged to leave a donation for the maintenance and running of the park. In 1994, there was a huge incident which devastatingly destroyed a portion of the aroid collection but they have stuck together and brought everything back into perfect condition. Following the incident, a task force from various surrounding communities was formed and worked on a more solid plan on how to best tackle the educational and environmental movements. After the ‘makeover’, the task force offered new programs to promote the causes that they stand for and also worked on solidifying their visitor services too...which is great news to fans and guests. So, if you are in Illinois for a short IL charter bus rental getaway in Chicago IL, take some time to explore this gorgeous conservatory.

The atmosphere on the inside feels extremely tropical...it pretty much feels like walking through a tropical forest! The flora and fauna will envelope visitors and warmly embrace people into their natural environment. Visitors will find a bigger respite during winter because while the weather is unforgiving on the outside, stepping into the warm interior of the conservatory gives them a very warm respite from the cold winds and harsh winter weather.

Last year, 2012, the Institute of Museum and Library Services conferred onto the Garfield Park Conservatory a much deserved award - it was one of the ten recipients for the National Medal for Museum and Library Service. Being one of the highest honor in the industry, the park management acknowledged that the award goes to the people, residents, the management and communities that unfailingly rally for the cause they stand for and are proud of the achievement.

The award shows that there is a very good reason to visit the park. For those who are visiting this amazing Illinois charter bus rental tourist attraction in a large group, please do feel free to get in touch with Bus Charter IL for an affordable charter bus, party bus, shuttle bus, and mini bus package.

On the road in Illinois

America is the home of car culture, and nowhere is this more apparent than when traveling in Illinois in your charter bus, coach bus, party bus, mini bus, passenger coaches or school bus hired from Bus Charter Illinois. So it would come as no surprise to find, in the depths of Illinois the Historic Auto Attractions Museum in Roscoe, Illinois.
Historic Auto Attractions is the brainchild of one man, businessman Wayne Lensing. This self made man, who began his career as an auto assembly line worker, today runs several successful business concerns that take up most of his time. But in the late 1990s, on a whim, he bought a limousine once owned by the eccentric billionaire and genius aviator, Howard Hughes. Much to his surprise, he found the car to be an attraction to others, and decided to open a museum so that he could properly display it.
Having the staff, resources, facilities and land on which to build such a museum, Wayne did just that. Acquiring all the exhibits currently on display in the Historic Auto Attractions Museum didn’t come cheap, but Wayne cast a critical eye on the vehicles and memorabilia he was collecting. They had to have a cultural or historical significance, and the collection isn’t just confined to vehicles, in spite of the museum’s name.
As you get off your charter bus, you will enter a 30,000 square foot building that holds an eclectic collection of historic vehicles, movie props and costumes, historically or culturally significant items of furniture, all of which hold a place in the collective memory of America. One of the museum’s significant collections is “World Leaders”. This collection holds vehicles used or ridden in by some of the world’s greatest leaders and dictators. Wayne can tell you for a fact that the bullet proof glass used in Josef Stalin’s 1937 Packard 12 is 2 inches thicker than the glass in Evita Peron’s Roll-Royce Silver Wraith. And the reason Wayne can tell you this is because both vehicles are here on display in his collection. American Presidents are no less well represented, with vehicles used by Presidents Reagan, Nixon, Grant, Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, and Johnson on display.
The museum also holds an extensive collection of John F. Kennedy and Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis memorabilia, along with items from various people and locations connected with the assassination of JFK. The original window from the Texas Book Depository is on display here, and visitors can look through it to see a miniature diorama of street as it would have been at the moment Lee Harvey Oswald took the shot. 
Also on display are famous racing cars and vehicles, movie and TV vehicles, a White House display and a recent addition, the Abraham Lincoln Room, which holds exhibits and artifacts connected with President Lincoln.
