The Memorials Committee is dedicated to using memorial money to preserve and promote Iroquois County history, as stated in the purpose statement of the Iroquois County Historical Society.
In 2017, we have received donations in memory of the following people:
We hope you can come to the museum to see projects of the Memorials Committee. Some recent projects completed with memorial funds include a shadow box displaying commemorative items from the 1860s, archival prints made of several old maps which are framed and hanging in our main hallway, digital photo frames in main hallway and Military room and archival storage supplies. Click on the photos below to see captions.
A large project completed in the past year was canvas reproductions of vintage photos hanging in the main hallway. The canvas prints are now more easily viewed with amazing detail and informative signs. The irreplaceable originals are safely stored in the museum's vaults to avoid further deterioration.
Monetary donations to the Memorial Fund in memory of your loved ones are always appreciated. Please contact a Memorials Committee member for more information.
