​Dieterich Historical Book 

In March 1893, the adjoining communities of Graceville and Dieterichsburg voted to incorporate, forming the community of Dieterich. In 2018, Dieterich will celebrate it's 125th or Quasquicentennial! The Historical Book Committee will be creating a book recording the history of Dieterich, Illinois. The history will include churches, family histories, businesses, schools, memorials/tributes, organizations, and much more!  

​How can my family or business be a part of the book?

Contribute a history of your family or business, especially family as it relates to Dieterich, Illinois, along with photos(s) before March 31, 2018. The more that submit history the better the book will be. Visit the "Book Submission" page for instructions, limits, and ​deadlines.

Can I submit other Dieterich history and pictures for inclusion in the book?

Absolutely! We are always seeking interesting stories, history, and pictures of historic Dieterich. Just be aware, space is limited and we cannot guarantee that it will be used. Please don't submit one-of-a-kind pictures, heirlooms, or an individual's private information. Visit "Book Submissions" for details.
