A beautiful homage to Macoupin County, the Macoupin County Historical Society was created by a group of citizens who sought to preserve their area’s history. Now, the society has built and currently maintains a variety of historical buildings as well as a mansion turned museum. Throughout the weekend of  “Christmas in Carlinville,” the society hosts a variety of events pertaining to the preservation of Macoupin County. History buffs will be delighted to visit the Print Shop where an old printing press still works to this day! To view even more vintage memorabilia, stop by Barn 3 which presents agricultural equipment. Looking for a special gift? At the Blacksmith Shop guests have the chance to purchase forged items! What could be more unique?
