  • 🌟 Just a reminder that Shiloh's main museum building will be closed starting Thursday, February 5, through March 17.  The building is getting its first major upgrade since it was built in 1991. We look forward to providing a better visitor experience, as a result.

In the meantime, we’re presenting an online workshop on how to research the history of your home for February 25, and we will be opening the doors to the public our 1871 Shiloh Meeting Hall in early March.

Stay tuned for further details. We’re building history!
