Carterville Heritage Museum

Opened in June 2011, the Carterville Heritage Museum is a beautifully renovated building showcasing architectural detail of former 1924 high school, hundreds of photo and memorabilia. It also serves as a gift shop, offering nostalgic, custom designed T-shirts, retro candy, gift baskets, a few antiques, and popular hand-made cards made by community volunteers. It features books on the Tri-C community for sale, including Carterville, Cambria, & Crainville: A Look Back At Our Towns and SIU's A Weekend In Carterville, Cambria, & Crainville.
