The Bureau County Historical Society was awarded a $3,500 grant from Landmarks Illinois to pay for a structural study to determine the number of patrons the auditorium on the top floor can hold. This is part of the Phase 2 cosmetic renovation project.

The Spring Valley City Clerk’s Offices will be closed Tuesday, Dec. 24, and Wednesday, Dec. 25, for the Christmas holiday, then Tuesday, Dec. 31, and Wednesday, Jan. 1, for the New Years holiday.
