As per Illinois State mandate beginning June 19, 2018, the Geneseo Police Department will no longer be a Public Safety Answering Point. We will no longer be able to dispatch the ambulance for the public. You will have to dial 911 if you have an emergency or need any ambulance services, please DO NOT call our non-emergent phone number. 911 calls will be answered by either the Henry County Sherriff’s Office or Kewanee Police Department. Please assist us with this transition

Passports out, history lovers! It’s time for Entry #7 in our Historic Passport Contest! 📸✨
Stop by Atkinson Hall (1892) at 108 W. Main St.
Designed by architect J.E. Hosford in the striking Romanesque Revival style, this local gem was originally built as the music department for the Geneseo Collegiate Institute. After the school closed in 1922, it went on to serve as the American Legion Hall (Shearer Post #350) starting in 1926.
