Welcome to the Otter Creek Historical Society's website. Our Objective Our objective is to explore the history of the Durand School District #322, also known as the Otter Creek area and preserve information, oral and written, pertinent to its heritage. Other objectives include the establishment of a museum and to display articles of historical and genealogical interest. Our Meetings and Events The Otter Creek Historical Society meets regularly at the Durand Village Hall, 308 W. Main, Durand Illinois. Meetings are usually the last Saturday of the month from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. We are still working towards a building of our own to house the many items now stored in the village hall basement.
