What is the Champaign County Historical Society?

About Us

The Champaign County Historical Society has kept alive the history of Champaign county since 1934. We do this through public markers, a museum, and many events throughout the year.

​The Champaign County Historical Society preserves the County's historical artifacts, documents and physical relics.
​
We are an all-volunteer organization and fund all of our operations through donations of time, money and artifacts.

​Visit the Champaign County Historical Society Museum, and we will be delighted to share our history with you.

​Please visit our Online Archives, our Historical Markers, attend an Upcoming Event, or plan a visit to our museum!
