Preserve. Protect. Enhance.
The History Museum on the Square, housed in Quincy's historic 1888 library building, holds countless treasures that tell our community's story.
We're embarking on an ambitious project to improve the Museum – adding an elevator, creating a welcoming ground-level entrance, completing key maintenance, and moving our Lincoln Gallery downtown.
This nearly $3 million initiative will transform how our community connects with its past – and it needs your support.
Show Your Quincy & Adams County Pride
Our story is written in the craftsmanship of the John Wood Mansion, preserved in the letters and photographs of early settlers, and echoed through the architectural details of our historic Museum. These tangible connections to our past do more than educate—they strengthen our community's identity and help us understand our place in the continuing story of this remarkable river city.
Your support will make sure these irreplaceable pieces of Quincy and Adams County's heritage remain accessible to historians, students, families, and curious minds. As a nonprofit organization committed to sharing history with everyone, we provide many of our programs and events at no cost to the community.
