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 12pm to 4pm

Sunday 1pm to 4pm.

There is parking in the lot on Oak Street behind the museum. Groups are welcome with advance notice. Admission is free. When you visit the Museum, we’re always happy to provide a guided tour.
