The museum is currently open Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10-4, until June 1st.
We welcome additions to our collection throughout the year. Think about leaving a legacy to your community by donating artifacts you may have in your possession to further enhance the holdings of the Society for the enjoyment of future generations. In addition, financial bequests and monetary donations in various denominations are made throughout the year to funds that have been established by the Society or can be established in your name or that of a loved one. Please think about supporting the arts and humanities by becoming a member of your local historical society!
