Where in Illinois am I?

This thread worked great when I lived on the left coast. Hoping it will have a following here too. Always good to start of with something easy.
Post your photos and maybe a hint if a challenging photo.

Where in IL is this fine museum?

Ding ding, Rick got it.

Nice to see a Simi Valley, CA connection; I may have hiked that hill.

That picture wasn't taken today. Wasn't sunny at 2:00PM today.
Illinois Rt. 117 at US 24 in Eureka Ill. The building in the background is the Woodford County Courthouse.
Construction started in 1898 and dedicated in 1906. Cost $90,232.
