Joe visits the Illinois Rural Heritage Museum in Pinkneyville, Illinois to tour this vast collection of all things rural life from the early 1800's on. Mary and Charlie Greer are the owners, and our tour guides. They started this museum with the goal of educating later generations about how life was lived and all the tools and more that were in the homes, offices, businesses, and farms of the time.
