Our Local History Collection is housed in the lower level of the Minooka Branch.

Our collection contains historical information from Channahon, Minooka, and Aux Sable and Channahon Townships. It includes genealogical information, photographs, yearbooks, area maps and plat books, newspapers and clippings, church records, and more.

Do you have historic documents, photos, or objects related to the Channahon and Minooka area?  Share them with us and help preserve our rich history!

Donations are gratefully accepted but not always necessary. We can also photograph, copy, or scan your materials and return the original to you.

See some of the photos in our collection on our flickr account.
