This new temporary exhibit explores the history of the asbestos manufacturing plant on Bloomington’s westside. It tells a story of people being forced to endure toxic conditions and environmental hazards all in the pursuit of profit.

This exciting 5,000-square-foot exhibit in four galleries explores the experience of living, working, farming, and creating community in McLean County.

This exhibit examines Lincoln's life's work, and explores the lasting connections Lincoln made with the people of this community.

Visitors to the Museum are encouraged to experience what life may have been like for McLean County's early settlers in the Harriet Fuller Rust Discovery Room.
