Exhibits focus on the important role that the railroads, Route 66, businesses, agriculture and the military have played in Litchfield’s history. The Museum features a large display area with items ranging from period automobiles to small tokens that represent historical significance to the area. Permanent artifacts as well as exhibits that are temporarily on loan are displayed in the viewing areas.

The Sky View Drive In, an original Route 66 theater and the only continuously operating drive in on Illinois Route 66, recently celebrated its 60th Anniversary. The drive in has an affordable snack bar filled with treats for all ages. Open on the weekends from April through October, it’s also a great place for special events and is home to many vintage motor car tours.
