The McLean County Museum of History has taken advantage of the downtime thanks to COVID to revamp their facility in downtown Bloomington and now are shifting their focus to reopening at some point in the spring.

Candace Summers at the Museum Monday morning told Regional Radio News on the WHOW Morning Show indicated the closure due to COVID allowed them to get crews in to update their bathrooms and lighting fixtures in the facility. She notes those projects are winding down. 

As the museum looks forward to reopening, Summers encourages those interested in providing input to visit their Facebook page and fill out a brief survey about if they are interested in visiting their facility.

According to Summers, the survey is getting a great amount of feedback and positive feedback at that. She believes people want to come back to the museum and museum staff will do everything asked of them to make sure it is safe for the public to do so.

Summers is optimistic by April the museum will have its doors reopened and the public will be welcomed in. She looks forward to the public seeing the changes they've made when they return.

Visit mchistory.org for more information and again find them on Facebook to take the survey.
