Classes can take a teacher-guided tour throughout the Kankakee County Museum and gardens. Instructors may teach their own history lesson in the Taylor One-Room Schoolhouse. Interpretive tours by the museum staff are available upon request. Please contact us to schedule a trip!
Research
Whether you need information on the factory where your grandfather worked, the name of a family that lived at a particular address in 1947, help with a school report, or a photo of a Kankakee landmark to display in your home or office, our researchers stand ready to help. Email or call to make an appointment with our Research Coordinator, Jorie Walters.
