What is it?

This episodic guessing series places items from the Peoria Historical Society in the hands of 21st-century folks and asks the question, “What is it?” Guesses run from creative to hilarious, inspiring to insightful. In the end, most are off by a mile. By all means, play along, but don’t blurt out the answer until Maureen Naughtin, curator for the PHS, makes her big reveal at the end.
