Things to Do and See in Peoria - Bloomington
Now that you’ve moved to your new home, it’s time to explore this beautiful Midwestern area. For sweeping vistas of the Illinois River, take a spin on Grand View Drive, which Teddy Roosevelt called “The World's Most Beautiful Drive."
If you’re interested in the history of heavy equipment, then a visit to the Caterpillar Museum is a worthwhile stop. You can ride in the bed of a massive mining truck, test your skills as a heavy-equipment operator on a simulator, or climb inside a giant track-type tractor. The museum is fun and educational for all ages.
Stop by the grandiose and stunning David Davis Mansion in Bloomington to visit the elaborate 19th-century, lovingly restored Victorian mansion. Learn how the original owner, Judge David Davis, was instrumental in shaping the political career of President Abraham Lincoln. On a warm fall day, stroll down the Constitution Trail and view the autumn leaves as they change color.
