What We Do to Preserve Monmouth’s Historic Beauty

At the Monmouth Old House Association, we believe that preserving historic homes is about more than just maintenance—it’s about honoring the stories, craftsmanship, and community values built into every structure. Through education, hands-on support, and a shared appreciation for design, we help homeowners care for their properties with confidence and pride.

Our members gather monthly, share their experiences, and celebrate progress together. Whether you’re restoring a century-old Victorian or simply fascinated by local architecture, you’ll find resources, camaraderie, and encouragement here.

Who We Are & Why It Matters

MOHA (Monmouth Old House Association) is a passionate network of residents and friends dedicated to preserving the historic charm of Monmouth, Illinois.

We believe our town’s character is reflected in the architecture built by those who came before us. These homes are not just structures—they’re stories. And we’re here to honor and protect them.

Whether you own a historic home, dream of one day restoring one, or simply admire their craftsmanship, MOHA is your home too.

“Old buildings are not ours. They belong, partly to those who built them, and partly to the generations of mankind who are to follow us.”
- John Ruskin
