CATERPILLAR VISITORS CENTER

Friday 19th April, after going round Peoria, we reached Caterpillar Visitors Centre, at Downtown Peoria, riverfront. There were lot of huge machines kept for visitors to see. Huge one used for mining and various other types. We spent about an hour going round, watching some presentation of the company and taking some photographs.

The Caterpillar Visitors Center is a fascinating look at the company, the iron and the people making sustainable progress possible around the world. From the humble beginnings of the first tractor to the company's present-day leadership in building infrastructure and powering the planet—it's all right here on Peoria's beautiful riverfront.

The Caterpillar Visitors Center is an exhibit showcasing the history of the Caterpillar Diesels/Peoria Cats basketball team, including winning their Olympic title, on March 8. 

The exhibit showcases Frank McCabe’s Olympic gold medal and U.S. Olympic jersey as well as other game-worn jerseys, players’ personal memorabilia, photographs, game footage and more – never seen by the general public until now. Commemorative postcards will be available during the exhibit while supplies last.
