Something For Everyone

We truly have something for everyone.  Come see our military displays, Native American and pioneer artifacts, vintage clothing, furniture, toys, fishing and sports equipment, and much more.  We also feature books, maps, music, and exhibits dedicated to mid 1800 Border Wars and the 2nd U.S. oil well.

Our Early History room has the Saint Rose Philippine Duchesne artifacts from the mission.

We change one room each month for rotating displays.  Visit us regularly and you'll discover something new each time.
