Volunteer at the Museum

Where old stories land.

Preserve the past

Make those stories last.

Fueled by labor’s strength,

And industry’s might,

Our passion burns on

A steady, guiding light

Greet with cheer

All those who come near.

On with the show,

Let the museum spirit grow!

Don’t just skim the surface

Find both play and purpose.

Maintain the collection,

Sow deep recollection.

Our Mission:

The Labor & Industry Museum is the only public institution devoted to the history of the labor and industry of Belleville and southwestern Illinois. Belleville was one of the most important centers for the growth of the Illinois industry, which ranked third in the nation in the late 19th century. The Museum's mission is to chronicle and interpret the area's rich cultural heritage of labor and industry. Belleville contributed significantly to the industrial movement by establishing some of the earliest and largest manufacturing establishments in the burgeoning United States.
