The original Silver Streak is on display in the exhibit\, owned by the son of one of the Coeds\, John Butte\, author of Darlene's Silver Streak and The Bradford Model T Girls (available in the museum store). \n\n \n\nRiverfront Museum \n\nPeoria Riverfront Museum features changing art\, science and local history exhibits\, a planetarium\, giant screen theater and IHSA interactive gallery. We are the collaborative effort of eight organizations\, with nearly 500 years of combined experience educating Central Illinoisans. Our mission is to inspire lifelong learning for all - connecting art\, history\, science and achievement through collections\, exhibitions and programs. Smithsonian affiliated.
