Then they happened to have a tire my size in their private stock and loaned me tools to change it. Needing to pay for it but didn't know how much they cost, I promised to replace it. They wouldn't take money and trusted me to make good. Their wives held their dinner for them while they helped a stranger out. These guys are the examples of aviation people and volunteers that I aspire to be. Thanks Rick and Art! Jim L

The picnic area along with the play ground are closed. The grass doesnt appear to have been mowed. There are literally pieces of the building falling off, with caution tape around the area by the entrance. Parking lot and road is basically one pot hole after another. Exhibits are VERY limited compared to ten years ago. The "theater" is now closed. It appears the State of Hellinois has forgot its history and doesnt want reminded. Guess the state has Pritzker to thank for no funding other than Shitcago. If you planned to visit here, do NOT do it just keep going. The employees inside are very nice and are trying but this place has been forgotten.

We attended a wedding at Hill Prairie Winery. The property is pretty and rustic and certainly has…read morethe atmosphere you would expect for a country wedding, but the overall guest experience was disappointing. For a winery, surprisingly little was done to showcase the wine. There was no real sense of the wines being part of the experience, and several of our pours appeared to come from the bottoms of nearly empty, previously opened bottles. The wine itself wasn't particularly good, and it was served in plastic cups. The bartender we encountered was also rather surly. Dinner was served in the upstairs barn space. The food was okay, but nothing particularly memorable. Dancing was in the covered outdoor pavilion. It's a nice space, but it was extremely hot with very little air movement. Even a couple large outdoor fans would have made a huge difference. Most surprising, after dinner there was no complimentary water available. Guests who wanted water had to purchase a plastic bottle inside, where alcohol was still being served. With a hot outdoor pavilion, dancing, and alcohol being served, readily available drinking water seems like a pretty basic hospitality consideration. The setting is lovely and has plenty of rustic charm. Unfortunately, the service and some relatively simple details kept the experience from living up to the location.

The Lincoln Heritage Museum is an absolute gem and well worth a family visit!…read more The facility is tucked away on Nicholson Road, almost out of sight behind Lincoln College in Lincoln, Illinois. Take the time to find it - you'll be delighted with your discovery. Plan to give the Museum the time it deserves - to get the most from your visit you'll need an hour and a half. The exhibits chronicle the life and times of Abraham Lincoln, from his early childhood through his years as President. Every display is "kid friendly" - your children will enjoy handling genuine historical artifacts of the period and will get a huge kick out of the Museum's multi-media presentations. Many of the exhibits put the viewer right into the middle of the action; you really feel as if you are on the scene as the events unfold. The staff is friendly and helpful and admission fees are very reasonable. You'll even find a well stocked gift shop - a great place for thoughtful birthday or holiday gifts. What are you waiting for??? SEE the LINCOLN HERITAGE MUSEUM!!!
