In 1890, the township board held its first meeting in this Stick Style building. The interior retains the original bench seating around the perimeter of the hall, which is still used for township meetings.

The St. Clair County Farm Museum was proposed in 1964 by the administrator of the St. Clair County Medical Center. He saw how technology was rapidly changing life in rural America and realized that there was a need to savor a slice of the past so that the area’s youth could explore and learn how their forefathers lived. By seeing a slice of the past, an appreciation of today’s lifestyle can be realized. The founding Museum members opened the Museum on July 16, 1966.
