2025 FALL CONFERENCE
Preserving History through Living History
November 6-8, 2025 in Mattoon, Illinois
Conference Host Sites - The Illinois Amish Heritage Center, Lincoln Log Cabin State Historic Site, & The Five Mile House
Living History, beginning in the latter part of the 20th century, has radically changed how history is taught, shifting from traditional museum settings to experiential, hands-on learning and opening new vistas in museum education. In addition to museums, cultures such as the Amish have also preserved many aspects of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Come join us in a look at how both living history museums and the Illinois Amish are preserving our heritage.
