Review:
Metropolis is home to a 15-foot tall Superman statue, and an equally grand Lois Lane. The Super Museum, voted America’s best small town attraction, is home to over 70,000 artifacts and collectibles related to Superman.
The chronologically organized museum was founded in 1993 by Jim Hambrick, whose personal collection was one of the largest in the world. While exploring town, visit the historic 1870 Elijah P. Curtis home where the Civil War Major lived after the battles were over. Stroll along Ferry and Market Streets to see 6 murals each representing the city’s heritage. Outside of the city center, enjoy the combination of nature and history at the Kincaid Mounds Archeological Site and the Fort Fort Massace State Park, and it’s replica of an 1802 American fort.
