The Warren County History Museum's collections focus on the history of Warren County from 1825 through the present. Primary focuses are in the areas of agriculture, industry, education, and the military.

The museum provides educational programming that relates to local and broader American history as it relates to our county. Educational programs include lecture series, book signings, guided and self-guided tours, and docents available in galleries during special events. All educational programming is free to the public.

The Warren County History Museum resides in a former church built in Monmouth, Illinois in the early 2000s. The facility features eight exhibit spaces, three dedicated collection storage areas, an event space (featuring fully equipped kitchen), and parking for approximately 50 vehicles.

The museum is overseen by its board of directors that are chosen to represent the various locales in Warren County. The board of directors meet once a month along with a yearly meeting of the members of the historical society.

The museum offers tours of the facility with prior notice given to the museum staff.

We also offer a gift shop that is open during regular business hours and during special events. Gift shop items have a focus on local history as well as items created by local artists.

The museum is also available for rentals, including the use of our kitchen, lecture hall, and special use of the exhibits.
