150 Years of Community
We wish to remember and record all the little moments in our history, because one day, they may be seen as important events in our lives.
Welcome to the Kinmundy Historical Society web site. We are a newly formed non-profit organization with the mission of bringing people together who are interested in the history of the town of Kinmundy, Illinois and surrounding area. We will be collecting materials which will help to illustrate the history of our community and presenting educational programs to arouse interest in our past.
In 1857 our town was platted by William Sprouse. This website will attempt to bring the historical stories and pictures of the area to the public. The hundred and fifty years from the founding of our town to today are made up of the moments in the lives of our pioneers, farmers and business men. We hope to bring a unity of pride in community by the presentation of our rich and historical traditions.
Marla Shirley, President
Gladys See, Vice President
