Reviews
"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!"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
