SUMMARY:Teutopolis Monastery Museum Opens
DESCRIPTION:PrintThe Teutopolis Monastery Museum celebrates its 50th anniversary this year.  There are 38 small rooms of displays open to visitors on Sunday\, November 2. \nThe hours are from 12:30 to 4:00 p.m.  We recommend you come early to see the many unique and interesting articles on display.  Admission for adults is $5.00 and $1.00 for children. \nThe Museum is located on the second floor in the former Franciscan Novitiate building\, which is located behind St. Francis Church in Teutopolis.  An elevator is available for visitors who have difficulty with stairs. \nBesides its collection of articles used by the Franciscan Friars\, the Museum is also known for Bibles and books in different languages\, some from the 1700’s.  The “pioneer wing” features items used by early Teutopolis pioneers\, including furniture\, clocks\, quilts\, toys\, and various household and grocery store items.  These articles are on display in the former “cells” or bedrooms of the Novices.  Volunteers are available along the tour to explain the displays and assist visitors. \nAlso open to visitors are the basement where many small farm tools are displayed\, the Mausoleum where 79 Franciscan Friars are interred\, and St. Francis Church\, with stained glass windows depicting events in the life of St. Francis of Assisi. \nSpecial group tours for adults or school groups can be arranged on days other than the scheduled Sunday openings. Call 217-961-6404 ext. 236\, leave a message\, and the call will be returned. \nRegular\, scheduled museum opening dates are the first Sunday of the months of April through November\, except holidays. \nFor more information go to the parish website:  stfrancischurch.com or to the town’s website at www.Teutopolis.com and click on “Our Community”.  Follow us on Facebook this year as we recall the beginnings of the Museum in 1975-76.
