Hampshire Township Historical Society is a non-profit organization formed in 2001 to preserve and promote the history of Hampshire, Illinois and Hampshire Township.

Join us at our meetings on the fourth Thursday of the month January thru May and September and October.

Watch for special events throughout the year!

Thank you for visiting our website!

Please consider becoming a member and helping us reach our short term goal of increasing our membership and continuing to provide free public programs and our long term goal of acquiring a permanent location to hold those programs and also to display photos, documents, and artifacts pertaining to Hampshire Township history. 

We have three Facebook Live events under our belt! We are still learning and working to improve the experience but If you missed them you can still view them on our Facebook page!

Just follow the Facebook link at the bottom of this page!

And did you know we have a YouTube channel now too! Check out Hampshire Township Historical Society on YouTube for our January 2024 program on Legacy Families

Are you interested in joining and helping to preserve Hampshire’s history or do you have knowledge to share?

We have several committees that would welcome volunteers.
