The Peoria Historical Society 2023:
Still preserving, sharing and celebrating the stories of Peoria

Incorporated in 1934, the Peoria Historical Society has a long history of preserving the important history of the Peoria area.  PHS does this in a variety of ways – through its two historic house museums — the John C. Flanagan Historic House Museum on Glen Oak and the Pettengill-Morron Historic House Museum on Moss Avenue, through outreach exhibits and displays across the community, through educational outreach and through the ever popular History on the Move bus tours.  This presentation will get everyone up to date on happenings at the Peoria Historical Society.

Bio:  Maureen Naughtin is the Curator of the Peoria Historical Society,   She also serves as the Community Outreach Director for the Pekin YWCA.  Originally from Kewanee, Maureen lived in the Quad-Cities for 9 years during college and her early high school teaching career.  She has lived in Pekin for the last 37 years–teaching junior/senior English at Pekin Community High School for 30 years, retiring in 2015.  In 2019, she received her M.A. in Museum Studies from Western Illinois University-Quad Cities.
