Purpose

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 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Thursday 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Sunday 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

There is parking in the lot on Oak Street behind the museum. Larger groups are also welcome (with advanced notice). Admission is free! When you visit the Museum, we’re always happy to provide a guided tour.

This site is operated by the Palatine Historical Society Board.
