Meanwhile, Back In Peoria’s Past- This Week: Wheels O’ Time Museum

by MBIP


Last Thursday was the opening day for the 2025 season of Wheels O’ Time Museum.

I didn’t get a chance to go last year and I plan on doing at least one post from there this year, so stay tuned for that!

Till then, here’s some photos and links to blogs I’ve posted through the years from this unique Central Illinois museum

Enjoy and stop by and support Wheels O’ Time, one of Peoria’s most original and distinctive museums and destinations!

Last August, Butch Patrick A.K.A. Eddie Munster paid the museum a visit!
