Williamson County Illinois Historical Society

We will be holding a membership meeting here at the museum on Sunday, July 15^th, 2018, at 2:00 P.M.  We will be discussing society business as well as completed, ongoing and future projects as well as showcasing our newly remodeled Native American room.  If you have a show & tell item, feel free to bring it. The program will be presented by Mike McNerny who will be speaking about discoveries made in his latest book related to unusual tombstone markers.

We look forward to seeing you at the meeting and want to remind you that we are continually adding resources to our website at www.wcihs.org which have now exceeded 500,000 references online.

With the latest addition of the Creal Springs book, our website now contains over 410,000 index references from 175 of our most referenced books available online. When added to 97,000 court case references, we now offer over half a million references available to the public on our website.

In 1964, the county held a 125 year Quasqui-centennial event in Marion and produced a souvenir program book to accompany the event. The book index has been added to our website in the Master Local History Index.
