201 N Beech Street Forrest, IL 61741

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a unique, historical property, preserved and renovated to its former glory! This former church is over 4,900 sq ft with two levels. It is now being used as a hat museum, featuring over 17,000 hats and over 35,000 pens/pencils (and even more unique coll...ectibles throughout). The high ceilings, original stained-glass windows, beautiful woodwork, church pews and altar remain in excellent condition. Prior to the museum opening in 2017, an entire year of updates brought this building back to life including but not limited to: new drywall, insulation, electrical, flooring, roof, paint, public restroom, furnace and air conditioner. An additional kitchen space and half bath are ready for your finishing touches on the lower level. Schedule a showing today to experience the beauty of this building and unique display of memorabilia that could be yours! Continue reading
