History Tour
The Collinsville Chamber of Commerce is working on a walking history tour of downtown Collinsville and we need your help! We are looking for human interest stories about the people who lived/worked in Collinsville over the years. Help us connect the history of the buildings with the stories of the people who lived and worked there!

Call 918-371-4703 or email megan@collinsvillechamber.org to share stories, photographs, or other memorabilia. Even if you think it's something insignificant or small, it might help us make a connection.
