Visiting Rockford
Named after its rocky river ford, Rockford is a Victorian city sandwiched between Wisconsin and Illinois’ capital cities, Madison and Chicago. It was originally founded in 1834, but since then it has transformed into a small but lively city that loves to entertain. From its fun-filled museums, water parks, and nature trails to its Downtown shops, bars, and restaurants, the city has something to offer every age. Yet, its roots are remembered at the Midway Village Museum where one of its Victorian settlements has been preserved and costumed residents help you reimagine what life was like during the city’s early days.
