Hi, Theresa --The most reliable method is to contact a certified quilt appraiser. You can find one in your area at www.americanquilter.com/about_aqs/appraisers.php. These are people who've been specially trained. There's usually a fee involved in using their service. Also, you can watch for quilt shows in your area. They sometimes have an appraiser on hand, but that's going to be more hit and miss if you want to know something sooner rather than later.

Yes seniors, vets, and 18 under are free. $5 for adults.

It is an excellent resource for learning the natural history of Illinois, and its culture

It's not far at all your class will enjoy the museum it's so informative about our history, now it depends on what time you go there are a couple of free lots near by

There's free parking near by but its easiest to just pay to park under the old state Capitol.

You can park for free in the lot on weekends when the state offices are closed and there is no security guard.

Illinois was the first state to ratify.

It's funded by the state. Open regular hours.
