The building is on the National Historic Register. It once served as a church in 1865 and later served as Morrison's Literary Society and Museum.The Odell Library found its home here for many years.In 1997 the building was given to the Morrison Historical Society to be used as a museum.  It has been returned to much of its early charm and has had the lower level remodeled and made useful as extra exhibit space.

There are several very special exhibits featured in the museum and they are changed frequently.  Products manufactured locally in the past include Summit stoves, Rich Toys, Illinois Refridgerators and Furniture.  There is a country store with items for sale.  There is something for everyone!  Come join us today!

The museum is lovingly manned by volunteers.  Call ahead for hours.  Tours may be arranged by Calling Jack at 815-772-3013 or Orville at 815-772-4558.

Admission is free, but donations are always welcome!
