Rantoul Historical Society

Just down the hallway is Rantoul's famous Ben Franklin Horse.
Mechanical Horse

"Mechanical
Horse"

The horse's home was Water's Ben Franklin store from 1951 to 1994 when the store closed. The horse was purchased by the Bank of Rantoul who later donated it to the Rantoul Historical Society. The horse has remained nameless, but it brought much joy to generations of little boys and girls who rode it.
