The Union County Historical and Genealogical Society Museum, located in Cobden, IL, is dedicated to preserving and promoting local history. Established in 1974, the society acquired the historic DuBois building in downtown Cobden in 1986 and embarked on a restoration project that lasted several years. In 2006, the museum's impressive collection of artifacts was donated to the society, leading to the opening of the Union County Museum. With its roots dating back to 1961, the Cobden Museum had already become a popular tourist attraction before merging with the Union County Historical and Genealogical Society. Today, the Union County Museum serves as a testament to the area's rich heritage, offering visitors a glimpse into the past through its revolving exhibits and General Store. The museum's dedication to preserving the past ensures that future generations can appreciate and learn from Union County's history.Generated from the website
