2024 is just around the corner

and because our building - The City and Town Hall - is celebrating its 140th birthday the museum will be celebrating birthdays all year long.

Help us celebrate by sharing any special birthdays in your family or other ideas for birthdays we can celebrate.

In January we will celebrate the birthday of the FDIC...know what that is?...with an exhibit about banking in Rochelle. If you have information or artifacts or stories about banking in Rochelle give us a call (815 562-3040), email (hubhistory@gmail.com), or come visit (open Thursday through Sunday from 11 to 4)!

Holidays are here!

Lots of toys in the Cabinet of Curiosities. 

Do you have a favorite toy you received at Christmas?

Try the hula hoop and check out the Speak & Spell - both are a bit of toy history!

Guess how many!

Three ornaments will be given away to the three closest guesses!

Stop in to make your guess or email it to hubhistory@gmail.com.

Merry! Merry!
