History never tasted so good as it does when you take the kids to learn about the very first McDonald's restaurant. This pop culture history lesson begins with brothers Mac and Dick McDonald when they first opened their doors to serve their special menu of hamburgers to an unsuspecting public back in 1948. Even though it has grown into one of the biggest brand names in history, see the enterprise's humble beginnings at the Historic Site of the World's First McDonald's Hamburgers museum showcase the humble yet compelling beginnings of the fast food giant. Various items and memorabilia from the franchise's history are on display, a gift shop offers plenty of cool souvenirs, but no food is served at this attraction.
