Monee Historical Society

Monee Historical Society Help us discover, record and preserve the history of Monee. Open every Tuesday from 10 am - 3 pm. Saturday- once a month 10 am - 3 pm.

As the original mission of the Save the Monee Creamery Foundation has been achieved - the Creamery is not in any current danger of demolition - the group decided to broaden its scope to include future use of the Creamery building as a focal point for Village activity and appreciation of our heritage.

This is one of my favorite displays! These lovely (some well-worn) wedding and bridesmaids gowns all have a story to tell. Stop in soon to see them before they are packed away again. Thank you to Chicago History Museum for your advice in making them display ready. Sigh.
