Stephenson County Historical Society Museum

Stephenson County Historical Society Museum, 1440 S. Carroll Ave., is in the Oscar Taylor Home, a two-story 1857 stone house in a parklike setting. The site, which may have been a stop on the Underground Railroad, features 19th-century furnishings. On the grounds are a log cabin, an old schoolhouse, a farm museum, an Arcade Manufacturing Co. cast iron toy museum and an arboretum containing 50 types of trees.

Entrance to the museum and historic buildings is by guided tour only.
