Programs of the Bishop Hill Arts Council are partially supported by a grant from the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency
In 1962 after the loss of the original Colony Bakery and Brewery, the Bishop Hill Heritage Association was formed. The avowed purpose was the protection of the remaining colony buildings. The Heritage Association is privately funded by gifts, grants, and donations. The Association continues to actively restore and preserve the heritage evidenced by the wonderful structures in the Bishop Hill Colony. Buildings of the Association are restored for adaptive re-use and provide a space for the crafts demonstrations, and Colony Store. Restoration is very expensive, and only continues as funds become available. While much still needs to be done, we take pride in what we have accomplished towards preserving this priceless heritage.
