Rockford sits on the Rock River in northern Illinois, a manufacturing city with a garden habit. Anderson Japanese Gardens, considered among the finest Japanese gardens in North America, offers ponds, waterfalls, and winding paths in a quiet corner of town. The Coronado Performing Arts Center, a restored 1920s theater, anchors downtown entertainment, and the Burpee Museum of Natural History draws families with its dinosaur exhibits, including the young T. rex skeleton known as Jane. Rockford earned the nickname Forest City for its tree lined streets, and its furniture industry once made it a national manufacturing center.
