Bishop Hill State Historic Site


The State of Illinois has been an active partner in Bishop Hill's preservation since 1946 when village donated the Colony Church, 1848, and Village Park, est. 1853, to the People of Illinois.  The Colony Hotel, 1852-1861, Colony Barn, c. 1856-1860, Boy's Dormitory, 1847, and the Bishop Hill Museum have been added to the site.  Today the site is administered by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

The Bishop Hill Museum, the Colony Church, the Colony Hotel and the Village Park are open throughout the year for visitors. Admission is free but donations are always welcome.  Costumed interpreters are on hand to enhance your visit.
