Champaign County Historical Museum Announces New Hours!

7/9/2019

Comments

 
The Champaign County Historical Museum located at 809 E. Lawn Ave., Urbana, is pleased to announce new and expanded hours. Effective immediately the museum will be open Tuesday - Friday 10 - 4 and Saturday 10 - 2. The museum will be closed on Mondays.

“We sincerely appreciate the voters who came out to support our levy which would have allowed us to hire full-time staff - a director, curator, and custodian,” said Dan Walter, CCHS President. “But since that issue did not pass, we are intensifying our campaign for new memberships and donations and are implementing new fundraising events. Recently these efforts have encouraged our board of trustees to hire a part-time Museum Operations Manager, Cheryl Ogden. This is a one-year post which we hope to extend pending successful fundraising.”

“Cheryl Ogden comes to us with exceptional skills and experience,” Walter continued. “She holds a BA in History as well as an MA in Public History, has worked in several museum venues, and is a Champaign County resident. She works well with the public, and we are most pleased to have her on board - so bring the family out to meet her on a hot summer day and enjoy our cool museum!” Since 1934 the Champaign County Historical Museum has preserved, protected, archived and displayed over 14,000 artifacts. The museum continues to present our local history to groups of elementary students and offer monthly programs - free to the public. All are invited to support the museum and receive the newsletter by joining in person or paying online by credit card.
