Located in central Illinois, Bloomington is a quintessential prairie town with lush green farmland, a family-friendly atmosphere, and strong Midwest values. Its two top attractions are the Victorian-era David Davis Mansion State Historic Site and the McLean County Museum of History, which pays tribute to McLean County and surrounding areas with 1500+ feet of historical papers/images, 19,000+ objects, and five permanent exhibit galleries.
We are also big fans of downtown Bloomington, a heaty hub of shopping and dining spots. It also hosts “First Friday” events with later store hours for participating stores and “Saturdays on the Square,” a free concert series with free performances from regional acts.
With downtown Bloomington and its greenery calling your name, you may be thinking of organizing group travel. Adding a TESCO buy, van, or shuttle to your fleet could be a logical next step. Keep reading to learn more about TESCO, including our inventory of new and used buses for sale and lease.
