Body text:
The Society was organized in 1970 and is dedicated to the study of the area's history and the collecting and preserving of the memorabilia of its people. In 1973, members purchased the house known locally as Anderson Mansion located in the northwest quadrant of Carlinville. Over the years, MCHS members have restored the home and several outbuildings, and established a museum. There are three major activities held throughout the year: Spring Festival, Fall Festival, and the Christmas Show.
