What Is The Governor's Post?
Discover the moments that defined our region in The Governor’s Post, our flagship quarterly publication. Named in honor of John Wood, Quincy's founder and Illinois' 12th Governor, this magazine delivers both compelling historical narratives and essential HSQAC updates.
Each carefully curated issue combines meticulously researched historical articles with news about upcoming events, exhibits, and programs. Our contributors bring fresh perspectives to local stories — from the struggles of early settlers to modern-day Quincy — while keeping you informed about preservation efforts and opportunities to engage with our community's heritage.
