This site is operated by the Palatine Historical Society Board. Our purpose is the collection, preservation and display of artifacts and the discovery and dissemination of knowledge about the history of Palatine and Palatine Township. We have some openings on our Board, if you’re interested in helping the cause.
The Clayson House Museum, located at 224 East Palatine Road, is open Tuesday 9am to 4pm, Thursday Noon to 4pm and Sunday 1pm to 4pm. There is parking in the lot on Oak Street behind the museum. Groups are welcome with advance notice.
