Burpee Museum of Natural History

The Burpee Museum of Natural History has a long, rich history in Rockford, including two haunted mansions flanking each side.

During its prime, this mansion was the highlight of Rockford's social scene, and now over a hundred years later, several spirits still like to hang out there.

The Burpee Museum of Natural History in Rockford will be reopening on February 12, 2021, but you must reserve tickets in advance.

Thanks to donations from foundations and other people, the Burpee Museum of Natural History has made a limited number of virtual field trips free for teachers and students in the Rockford area.

Rockford's Burpee Museum of Natural History will once again celebrate all things prehistoric with the 22nd annual PaleoFest featuring speakers from around the world, and awesome activities for all ages.

If you are looking for something to do this weekend, I suggest checking at BurpeeFest in downtown Rockford.
