St. Clair County Historical Society - Belleville (IL)

5 /5 Sean Hall: The museum is a Victorian era home with a great collection of items that show the rich history of Belleville. The museum is free with donations accepted. Pick up a great book like the one we did as another good way to contribute. The museum has volunteers and a curator on location to answer questions.

4 /5 Ina Kitty Walker: Totally enjoyed the Haunted Tour of Belleville. It was nice to get exercise on a beautiful evening, learning the creepy history of the buildings in town. However, I did not understand what these random stories actually had to do with Belleville or how it "tied" to anything related in town.

1 /5 Hathor Johnson: I work for find a grave website and I do ALOT of research on graves, cemeteries (existing or nonexistent now) genealogy and other historical things related to graves or burials and cemeteries. I’ve called them MANY times needed research done for graves, burials, or finding cemeteries that no longer exist so I can update the website. They NEVER call me back. I’ve called them a few times and ask them about the research weeks later and they would keep saying “oh. We will get to u when we get to u. We have your number so we will call when we get to it.” It’s been months now and they never called me back. I ended up doing the research on my own. If u need any historical information try the library in Belleville first. They helped me more than the actual historical society.

5 /5 Mark Webster: We went on the haunted Belleville walk provided by the St. Clair County Historical Society. It was very interesting. I never knew Belleville had so much history and so many firsts.

5 /5 Andrew Hicks: A step back into Bellvilles history.
