Source

The John Marshall House Museum is a historic site located in Old Shawneetown, Illinois. This museum is a reproduction of the original John Marshall House, which was one of the oldest surviving brick buildings in Illinois before its demolition in 1974. The museum offers a glimpse into the life of banker John Marshall, who ran the first bank in the Illinois Territory in the early 19th century.

Historical Significance of the Site

Despite being added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972, the original John Marshall House was demolished eighteen months later. However, the original foundation of the house remained intact, and the site has retained its significance as a historical archaeological site. This adds an extra layer of historical depth to the museum, making it a fascinating destination for history enthusiasts.
