About Us

The Bailey House is a beautiful historic home in the heart of Macomb, Illinois. It is filled with character and charm and is available to rent to make your event a special one.

The Bailey House is owned, maintained and managed by the McDonough County Historic Preservation Society.

In September 2012, through close work with the Illinois Historic Preservation Commission, the McDonough County Historic Preservation Society was granted permission to list the Bailey House on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service. The McDonough County Historic Preservation Society Board is pleased that the Bailey House is the third structure in the Macomb Historic District to receive this distinction, along with the McDonough County Courthouse and the Lamoine Hotel.

The McDonough County Historic Preservation Society is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt corporation which was founded in 1982
specifically to discover and memorialize the history and architecture of McDonough County.
