Popeye Museum, Illinois, United States

4.5 (66 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Chester Speciality Museums

Cool for Popeye Fans

If you happen to make it this far down in Illinois, do check it out if you are of the age to remember this iconic cartoon character. Not too big, lots of small items, fun to recollect the old days. There are statues erected throughout town that you can visit, which is cool, though some of them were marginal figures in the series. Free museum. Check it out.

    Great museum!
    Great Museum. Lots to look at. The gal inside answered all our questions since the Visitors Center was closed. The owner was very friendly and she gave us an updated map to all the statues in town, also instructions on how to get to the Kaskaskia Bell and some history of Popeye while we were there. Only negative..........they weren't wearing masks so we were just a wee bit uncomfortable.

    A Lovely Little Find
    Great little museum with lots to look at, and nice things to purchase too. Lady who owns it was so friendly and answered all of our questions and chatted to us for ages. Map available to go and view all of the statues about the town of characters from the cartoon. Found ourselves in Chester for an extra day due to an incoming storm disrupting our travel plans, and so glad we got to visit.
