Rockford
Illinois' second city, Rockford, is just a hop and skip to the
northwest of Chicago, set in rolling hills. It is worth a visit for
culture vultures and golfers, in particular. The city is known for
its 'cultural corridor' of which the highlight is the Rockford Art
Museum's stunning permanent collection focusing on 19th and 20th
century works. There is also a wealth of private galleries and
historical museums in the city centre. Rockford is also known for
its many antique shops and markets, and the many golf courses in
the city and vicinity that have earned it the title of Illinois'
'holey' city.
