At the History Museum on the Square, Quincy and Adams County’s rich history comes to life. Our permanent exhibits showcase the journey of the region’s earliest settlers and the evolution of the area.
With rotating exhibits, we’re constantly revealing new stories, rare artifacts, and unique perspectives that highlight Quincy's national impact and lesser-known aspects of our past.
