Macoupin County Historical Society

The Anderson Mansion Museum consists of a two-story Victorian home filled with antiques and collectibles of the past. Built in 1883 as a one-story residence by John C. Anderson, it was enlarged as the family grew to 8 children.

Purchased and refurbished by the Macoupin County Historical Society in 1973, the Victorian mansion is furnished with period pieces and offers an intimate glimpse of life in the 1800s. Outer buildings on the grounds include an authentic schoolhouse, country church, blacksmith shop, and a print shop.
