THE HISTORY SECTION OF THE BHHA’S WEBSITE

Looking for a nice warm winter activity?  Then check out the Bishop Hill Heritage Association’s history page on our website.

Our BHHA website has pdfs of some of the major books on Bishop Hill Colony history. These readings can be found at the bottom of the History page, which is located under the About section. Click on the following link to go to the History page: https://bishophillheritage.org/about/history . The pdfs can be easily downloaded for your winter reading pleasure. We have just added over a half dozen short articles about Bishop Hill to this page. There are also short videos about Bishop Hill history and interview clips of Bishop Hill residents and Colony descendants as well on this page.
