Quincy Charter Bus Excursion
Quincy Charter Bus Excursion
Quincy is a fun destination. A number of Wineries are featured. Start off your charter bus tour with a stop by Baxter's Vineyard and Winery, it is the oldest winery in Illinois. Free tours and tastings are the rule of the day. While you're exploring wineries, check out Collver Family Winery, they have the distinction of being the newest winery in Illinois.
After a little wine and cheese tasting, head your charter bus over to The East End Historic District which has an absolutely breathtaking collection of houses of every period and style since 1850. National Geographic Magazine described this area as one of ten most architecturally significant corners in the United States. Another interesting site is The Gardner Museum, this building originally housed the Quincy Public Library. The museum was organized in 1974 to encourage the preservation of Quincy's outstanding architectural heritage.
For a little hands on fun, charter a bus stop at the Family Living Center. Your tour group can explore the sights and sounds of pioneer life. Hands-on-experiences include woodworking, weaving, rope making, pottery and candle making just to name a few. If you have kids along for the ride it's a definite "must see" and since admission is free, it is also the right price.
Another fun stop for the younger set on your charter bus tour is Wavering Aquatic Center,spend a family day full of fun, sun and swimming. The park is equipped with water slides, paddleboat rentals, batting cages and walking trails.
The Quincy Art Center, a museum of the visual arts, was started in 1923 and is located on the grounds of the former Lorenzo Bull mansion, now the Women's City Club. In 1990 an award-winning addition was opened with galleries and a gift shop with studio space in the lower level. A variety of rotating exhibitions are presented throughout the year.
Try to find time between the interesting stops to take in some of Quincy's great regional cuisine. There are hundreds of restaurants to choose from and no such thing as a bad choice when it comes to choosing where to eat in Quincy. Clear your schedule and come see Quincy on a charter bus soon.
