This year, museums and non-profits like us have been hit especially hard as revenue-generating events have been canceled and donations have dropped off. A donation, no matter how big or small, will go a long way to help support us as we move into a new year of making history together. Please consider supporting the St. Charles History Museum this holiday season.

Arcada Prepares to 'Raise the Curtain' on Next Chapter
Earlier this year when COVID-19 put a halt to live music and shows of all kinds, the future of many theaters across the country was cast into doubt. Without being able to have shows, the halls of many venues across the country have fallen quiet, waiting for the days they can have visitors again. But that wasn't the case for the Arcada Theatre.

157 Years Later: The Battle of Gettysburg
The circumstances leading up to the greatest battle ever fought in the western hemisphere made July 1st-3rd 1863 some of the most pivotal days in American history. The first shot of the Battle of Gettysburg is credited to Lt. Marcellous Jones, an 8th Illinois Cavalryman who mustered and trained here in St. Charles, IL at the site of Camp Kane (Langum Park today).
