Staley Museum In The News

We're excited to bring back the Spring Porch Pot event, but this time with a new twist!

In celebration of the 250th birthday of the United States, we're going to have a Patriotic Porch Pot Workshop with a Mini Market fun day!

Plants provided by The Garden Path will be of the red, white, and blue variety, and we'll have some accessories to help spruce up your planter even more! The workshop will be $30 per pot (max 16in).

However, the Mini Market is FREE for everyone to enjoy whether you're participating in the workshop or not. Come visit with Hope and Cowpie, two adorable miniature horses, and check out some of these lovely Macon County vendors as well: @lindseytheladysmith, Scrafts by Laura Harrison, Polly Rocks, and the Mt. Zion Blues 4H Club Bake Sale! ... See MoreSee Less

Today is a day to be grateful. What a beautiful afternoon at the Staley Museum!
Today we had the privilege to host the University of Illinois Springfield Faculty String Quartet.
In all my years as Director here at the museum, I don’t think any event has ever filled my culture cup as much as this concert did today. We hope to create more offerings like this in the future.
Today we want to give our heartfelt thanks to the musicians that performed and to Julie Castro of Honey Bee Boards for refreshments. #staleymuseum #honeybeeboards ... See MoreSee Less
