1. I'd like to help, but I do not know anything about a museum. Do I have to be on the committee?

The committee is always looking for help. A volunteer could take on a special project or help with the filing or assist in the cataloguing of items. An interested individual does not have to be a committee member to help or have prior experience. Contact the Museum committee at maryville4u@maryville-il.us.

2. I have something that might be of interest. What is the museum interested in acquiring?

Anything that is associated with Maryville and its history would be a welcome item. Examples include letters, pictures, tools, or items pertaining to the Village, including but not limited to the businesses, coal mine, baseball, schools, churches, homes, families, and clubs. Items can also be loaned to the museum. Consider having the Museum Committee copy your pictures and then place them for display.

3. I would like to visit the museum. What are the hours?

The museum currently has no set hours, contact the Museum committee at maryville4u@maryville-il.us for arrangements to visit. Volunteers usually work one day a week and, when there, welcome anyone who wants to visit.
