It's starting to feeling like summer in downtown Lockport (although the official start of summer is June 21) because our steampunk statues are out on display at the Will County Historical Society, Illinois State Museum, Lincoln Landing, and the White Oak Library, Lockport Branch. Stop by for a photo op with Gooding, Lincoln, the rocket ship, and gears, and share on social with #DeTourToDowntownLockport.
