Monticello, Illinois
Culture, History
Our goal is to have a new facility which is environmentally controlled in a highly visible area where the artifacts from the original three buildings will be brought together, properly stored, and carefully prepared for presentation.
The new museum will serve as an educational center for school children and adults as well. The new museum will encourage tourism in Piatt County and establish a place where appreciation of the county’s heritage can be observed and experienced by not only those in Central Illinois but by the many visitors who are drawn to this historical area each year.
