The CH Moore Homestead and DeWitt County Museum is celebrating a very successful 2025. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Thursday, Executive Director Joey Long told the Hart Media Group before they opened in April, they were working on restoring the floors of the mansion. 

According to Long, they were represented in the Looking for Lincoln Visitors Guide, as well as hosted Lincoln Historian Guy Fraker. 

July led to the unveiling of the ‘Picture Perfect’ exhibit. Long explains for this project, they reprinted, enlarged, and enhanced historical photos so originals could be stored away for safekeeping. This initiative was largely funded by sponsorships. 

The Apple N' Pork Festival is the Museum's biggest event of the year - evidenced by the thousands upon thousands that come to Clinton year after year. The event is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Homestead and many of Clinton's non-profits. 

Long is grateful for all the hands that helped the Homestead have a successful 2025, and looks forward to opening for the 2026 season in April.
