The McLean County Museum of History has a new permanent exhibit. The museum has been working tirelessly for the past 4 years curating what life was like for the working class in central Illinois.
The new exhibit, "Challenges, Choices, and Change: Working for a Living", begins in the 1800s - highlighting more than 80 local workers and their daily on-the-job experiences.
Guest curator, Mike Matejka, wants to show how people were able to progress and transition as new technologies displaced workers.
The McLean County Museum of History is number 4 on the list of top 200 museums in Illinois and is nationally accredited with the American Alliance of Museum - an accreditation only 26 Illinois museums hold.
The new exhibit opens Saturday, September 8 at 1pm and is located at 200 N. Main Street in Bloomington.
