Visitors can view more than 30 rooms of the Teutopolis Monastery Museum on Sunday, August 07.
The hours are from 12:30 to 4:00 p.m. We recommend you come early to see the many unique and interesting art icles on display. Admission for adults is $5.00 and $1.00 for children.
The Museum is located o n the second floor in the former Franciscan Novitiate building, which is lo cated behind St. Francis Church in Teutopolis. An elevator is available fo r visitors who have difficulty with stairs.
Besides its collection of articles used by the Franc iscan Friars, the Museum is also known for Bibles and books in different la nguages, some from the 1700’s. The “pioneer wing” features items used by e arly Teutopolis pioneers, including farm tools, furniture, clocks, quilts, toys, various household and grocery store items. These articles are on dis play in the former “cells” or bedrooms of the Novices.
The tour also includes the Mausoleum and St. Francis Church, with stained glass windows, which depict events in the life of St. Francis of Assisi.
Volunteers are available along the tour to explain displays and assist visitors.
