By exploring the past, we can better understand the time in which we live.
Both major historical events and the details of everyday life can tell
stories about what came before us.
In this way, we can gain a deeper understanding of our own lives.
We work with artifacts and topics dating from 1536 to the present day. We
collect, share, catalog, preserve, and research stories and artifacts
from our local area, for the benefit of others who are interested.
Through our work as a state-recognized museum, we ensure that our
shared cultural heritage is preserved for future generations...
