A few minutes walk from the heart of the farming action takes you to the Octave Chanute Aerospace Museum. More than a collection of historically significant military aircraft, the museum also chronicles the influence of the former Chanute Air Force Base on Rantoul and the surrounding area. Vintage uniforms, memorabilia, and artifacts from the local aeronautics industries reound out the collection. Oh, and don't forget to take the stairs down two stories into the training simulator of a Minuteman missile silo in one of the museum's hangars.
