About Joliet


Joliet is one of those cities that have a strong balance between culture and nature. On the one hand, you have the Bird Haven Greenhouse and Conservatory, where you can find beautiful flowers and other natural elements.

On the other hand, there’s the Joliet Area Historical Museum, where you can learn about the city’s history and experience interactive exhibits that let you get an idea of how the city developed with time.

A new installation at the museum is The Soaring Achievements of John C. Houbolt, telling you all you need to know about the Apollo missions. But if you want to see art being created right in front of your eyes, enjoy the local artists’ work at the Friends of Community Public Art.
