The Greenup Commercial Historic District is a historic district located in the business district of Greenup, Illinois. The district includes 40 buildings, of which 31 are considered contributing buildings to the district's historic character.[2] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 21, 1991.[1]

Several of the businesses in the district feature overhanging porches on their front facades, lending Greenup the nickname "Village of Porches".[3][4] The district includes Greenup's Carnegie library, which now houses the Cumberland County Military Museum.[5][6] The Johnson Building, a commercial building and hotel constructed in 1895, is also located within the district; the building now serves as the Cumberland County Historical and Genealogical Museum.[7][8]
