I've been to the site of the first one Ray Kroc opened. The replica-museum on that site is in the process of being torn down:

There's a modern functional McDonald's right across the street.

McDonald's Corp. founder Ray Kroc opened his first McDonald's restaurant on April 15, 1955, in Des Plaines, Ill. The original red-and-white tiled building featuring the golden arches was remodeled several times before it was torn down in 1984. A museum replica with modifications stands in its place.
