Description

The museum building was built and occupied in 1986 and contains local memorabilia. In 1987 the first log school house was dismantled and moved to the museum site and reconstructed by a group of volunteers. It has been furnished as it probably was when built, in 1849 by Samuel F Dodds in his orchard. At the same time an old building was moved to the site and converted into an old time blacksmith shop. In 1989 an Illinois Central Caboose was purchased and moved to the site and is now being furnished with railroad memorabilia. In 1996 a summer kitchen was moved to the site and has been furnished with items of the day.

History

The Lena Area Historical Society was organized in 1981.
