Preserving County History & Sharing Lincoln’s Vandalia Era

See for Yourself
Step into history and explore the stories that shaped our county. Our staff would love to share insights and hidden gems along the way. Individuals and small groups can stop by anytime. If you plan on bringing a large group, please book a tour so we can give you the best experience possible! The best part: admission is free, but we appreciate donations of any size!
Historic Beginnings
The museum isn’t just full of history—it is history. The building itself is a piece of the past, and inside, you’ll find artifacts that bring old stories to life, all set in a space that holds its own timeless charm.
