Drive Underway to Develop New Museum Site

The historic University of Illinois beef barn is the property of the Piatt County Museum, and will become the new home of the Piatt County Museum in Monticello.

The Historic University of Illinois Beef Barn

The barn has been successfully dismantled and move to Monticello. Once rebuilt and renovated, the barn will hold the 42-year-old museum’s collections that are now in a downtown building about two blocks west of the square. Some of the artifacts include agricultural equipment and household items from early Piatt County history, civil war artifacts, clothing, quilts, dolls and Ray McIntire's train collection.
