"Great experience!"

"The people there are most helpful."

"I had volunteered at the Pettengille-Morron house museum for two years. It's a gorgeous home. They rent it out for weddings, baby showers, bridal showers etc."

"The staff there are always eager to help and very professional. It's also a great place to get to know about Peorias history."

"We went on the Haunted trolley tour and it was not what we were expecting at all. First of all, there was not a trolley, but a CityLink bus. We could not see out very well and the people in the back could not hear the woman who was giving the tour. Most of the time the lady told us information about the city of Peoria and she just touched on the haunted places on the tour. The couple across from my daughter and I also didn't know which building she was talking about as we drove down the road not being able to see out. My daughter who is 17 continued to ask me which house she was talking about and I had to say," I have no idea". The speaker that the lady was using would also screech when she put it to close to her mouth because people in the back said they couldn't hear her. I really wish I hadn't spent the $15 each. Also the trolley ride was to be an hour and a half. It was an hour, but at this point we both just wanted off the CityLink bus. I have been on the trolley ride that starts in the Heights and the man who did that had a wealth of information and I would highly suggest that tour. But if the trolley is broken and they send a CityLink bus.....DON'T GET ON AND WASTE YOUR MONEY! Happy Halloween."
