The Village of Elsah Museum is now open from April through October on Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 pm. Stop in on your walk through the historic Village.
Built in 1887 as the Village Hall, the building was opened with a Christmas party intended to raise some money for furnishings. Since that time, the Hall has served many purposes, including dramatic presentations, weddings, and organizational meetings. The Hall is now leased by Historic Elsah Foundation and currently serves as a museum documenting the history of the Village of Elsah, Illinois. Founded in 1853, the entire Village is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The original bell was added to the steeple in 1890. The bell was removed in July 2023 and is now displayed at the entry to the museum.

Peace Works will be open Saturday & Sunday from 1-4pm.
