Midway Village Museum - Local history museum in Rockford - 6799 Guilford Rd, USA

Great time! Was nice getting a ride to the battlefield. Reenactors were smiling throughout and made it a fun experience. Loved seeing the vehicles and encampments. Food options were great as well.

The Midway Village Museum is a must-see when exploring Rockford, IL. My husband and I had less than 30 minutes to walk through the museum on an early-July Friday afternoon. We paid $9 for each of our tickets and hustled through the museum to see as much of it as we could. The main attraction we visited was the exhibit on the AAGPBL. It was smaller than expected, but the artifacts were well worth seeing- trophies won by the Rockford Peaches, baseballs and their size change throughout the length of the league, uniforms, and souvenirs collected through the decades. The museum is probably one of the best I've seen in a small town. There were so many exhibits and so much to be learned about the city of Rockford. We learned that the sock monkey originated here and also how significant of an industry-leader the city was back in its day. I hope to return one day and take our time walking through and learning about the rich history of Rockford. The children's town was AWESOME! We could have spent much more time in there as well. If kids learn more effectively with engaging exhibits, so do adults. The space was clean, staff professional and helpful, and they even have a full giftshop.

Nice little museum & village of local history including industrialization, manufacturing, immigration, transportation and of course the Rockford Peaches. Honestly I wish they had more of a dedicated exhibit for the Peaches.

There are exhibits you can visit year round and in the summer this place turns into a live history museum. Great place. Check their website for current events.

We LOVE Midway Village! An amazing place in Rockford to share our city’s history and history in general! World War II days is THE BEST! I highly recommend you find and event and mark it on your calendar to attend!

Amazing museum-with so many wonderful exhibits. Their old homes and village are interesting for adults and children. We have been coming here for years. The grounds are beautiful. The guides are knowledgeable and make the tour fun. Too big to get through in a day. What a treasure!!! (Donations accepted during the week---the weekend I'm not sure of the price.)

Amazing museum. Looks small on the outside but is huge on the inside. A great place to learn about local history. The WWII event was beyond words. The living village and volunteers are all top notch. Will visit more often and will definitely watch for future events.

Other than the employees giving dirty looks for some weird reason it was a nice family wedding. Re: People pay for services rendered on a very special day in there life's not to be looked at like you hate your job, understandable employees get busy but didn't see another wedding the hole time we were there n driving around on a golf cart with phone playing music picking up garbage bags doesn't seem very hard. I work 7 days a week and haven't had a day off in 20yrs. Maybe just teach your employees good demeanor and smile 😃 is all I was trying to say! Customer's not always right but to reply and say I'm wrong just shows what I'm talking about changed to 1 star would've gave 0!
