Many old photos of Benton County churches are displayed on one wall of the Museum. Some of these churches still stand today, looking much as they did 100+ years ago, while others - sadly - have closed. Some churches still stand but in an alternate location after being relocated when Truman Dam was built.

Our special exhibit for this year is titled "The Evolution of Modern Conveniences". You will find telephones, cameras, washers, computers, TV's & much more, sitting side by side with their early versions. We've come a LONG way. Great for all ages!

2023 Quilt Raffle
Ticket sales for the 2023 Museum Quilt Raffle have begun. The quilt was once again made by Valerie Fauquier of Warsaw & generously donated for the raffle. Ticket prices are $1 each or 6/$5 & can be purchased at the Museum during regular business hours or from any Museum board member.
You can also see the quilt on display throughout the year at various locations, at which time tickets will also be on sale. The quilt will also be available for viewing at Heritage Days this fall & tickets will be sold there also.
Drawing will be held in late October at the end of the 2023 season.
