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.
