Starting in April 2025, the Bishop Hill Heritage Association will once again be offering guided tours of historic Bishop Hill. Led by expert guides, learn about the Bishop Hill Colony, which was started in 1846 by Swedish immigrants. 18 pre-Civil War buildings are still in use today in Bishop Hill as museums, businesses, and more. The BHHA offers a 1.5 hour walking tour or a step-on tour of this National Historic Landmark village. Below are a tour confirmation form and a tour description that provides more details. You can also check out our website at www.bishophillheritage.org for more information about Bishop Hill. If you have any questions or would like to book a tour, please call me at 309 927-3899 or email me at bhha@mymctc.net.

We hope you consider visiting Bishop Hill, Illinois this year and experiencing this Utopia on the Prairie!
Sincerely,
Todd DeDecker
BHHA Administrator
