Kampsville is a village in Calhoun County, Illinois, United States, located on the west bank of the Illinois River. The population was 310 at the 2022 census.
Kampsville was originally known as Beeman's Landing, after James L. Beeman, a ferry operator on the Illinois River. After Stephen Farrow purchased the ferry from Beeman, the name was changed to Farrowtown. The name Vedder was used when the post office was established in 1857. The name Kampsville was made official on 6 March 1872 and refers to Michael A. Kamp, who served as president of the village board and was also a postmaster at Silver Creek, north of Kampsville. [3]
The Kampsville ferry crosses the Illinois River and connects the Kampsville segment of Illinois Route 108 with its remainder in Greene County. The ferry is free and runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It is one of two permanent ferries operated by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
The village is the base of operations for the Center for American Archeology, an educational and research organization dedicated to the archeological understanding of the Native Americans and of the European settlers in the region. It contains exhibits demonstrating evidence of 7,000 years of human habitation excavated at the Koster Site in nearby Greene County.
According to the 2021 census gazetteer files, Kampsville has a total area of 1.24 square miles (3.21 km2), of which 1.02 square miles (2.64 km2) (or 82.26%) is land and 0.22 square miles (0.57 km2) (or 17.74%) is water. [4]
Three highways run through the village. They are Route 100, Route 96, and a small portion of Route 108 leads to the Kampsville ferry.
