Cruisin with Lincoln on 66 Visitors Center and Gift Shop — Attraction in Bloomington

We stumbled upon Cruisin with Lincoln on 66 Visitors Center and Gift Shop by chance, and I'm so glad we did. This place is an absolute gem in Bloomington Normal.

One of the best parts is that admission is completely free on Tuesdays, which is a fantastic deal. On other days, there's a reasonable $5 charge per person.

The center boasts four floors of exhibitions, and my personal favorite was the 'Court Room' exhibit. It was my first time experiencing a courtroom setting, and I was impressed by its pristine appearance and historical significance.

To top it all off, this gallery is also a photographer's dream, providing ample opportunities for stunning pictures.
