Wheels O' Time Offers New Exhibits and Activities for Summer

Wheels O' Time Museum

This week, we're talking with Marcia Johnson, from the Wheels O' Time Museum.

She talks about some of the museum's special exhibits and event for the summer. The River and Rails exhibit includes a 1/8th-scale model of a locomotive that was that was in use in Peoria for many years.

She also updates us on the progress of a steel house. The house has been moved from its prior location on Grant Street, and is currently undergoing repairs before it goes on display.

The museum is also participating in the Science Treasure Hunt this year. It's a partnership involving 19 organizations in the area, which aims to expose kids to science over the summer.

The museum is located on North Knoxville Avenue in Dunlap, and is open until October 29th.
