Our Mission
To share and celebrate history and innovations in Champaign County by stewarding and interpreting artifacts and promoting community-centered narratives through exhibits and inclusive educational programming.
In 2023, long-time CCHM board member Rick Williams set out to find every one of the more than 100 church sites shown on rural township plats in the Combined 1893, 1913, and 1929 Atlases of Champaign County. The goal of the project was to visit every site, research the histories of the existing structures (and their predecessors), and uncover the stories of those that have been lost to time. After travelling many miles on county roads and spending countless hours in historic archives, he shares insights and highlights of the adventure in this History Talk.
