Trivia Contest is a Rain Out!The teams were ready to go in some cases, but the rain was coming down hard at 3PM and a another front was to come in an hour later. Writing on soggy papers in a chilly rain did not seem like a fun time so we postponed the trivia contest and we will post a new date and time.
Maybe we will go INSIDE for this one.
The Altamont Living Museum is a not-for-profit organization and we offer many forms of entertainment. You'll find award winning performers, plays performed by our local theater troupe A.C.T. and Altamont High school students, country/bluegrass variety shows on Tuesday nights, and memorabilia exhibits on display for your enjoyment. The building is also available for special events such as receptions, special music shows and meetings. The museum has a stage complete with stage lighting, lighting booth, sound system, a sound booth and a house that seats about 120. Downstairs we have a kitchen and a meeting room that is capable of holding 40 people comfortably. Alcohol and smoking are prohibited in the ALM.
There are a few things that make the ALM unique: - The ALM is a community service that can provide all this for little or no cost.
- The building was a church built in 1912, and it still has all it's original beauty like:
- Stain Glass Windows
- Wooden Pews for House Seating
- Period wood floors
- An antique tin patterned ceiling
- Period lighting fixtures still in use
- It is handicap accessible with an elevator
- Central air conditioning and heating
- Free parking nearby
We invite you to come by and see the museum. Please either call (217-690-2935) or
E-Mail us before you arrive. The ALM is run and managed by a volunteer board of directors and many community volunteers with which we could not continue to operate. We are always glad to hear your comments. Let us know what you think by sending an E-Mail to

Many of the plays presented in the ALM are produced and performed by the Altamont Community Theater (ACT). If you would like to learn more about ACT or join their next production drop us an e-mail. Every Tuesday night the ALM is proud to host the Tuesday Night Bluegrass show.
