Founded in 1939, in the past 70 years our Museum has grown to include 13 buildings with a total of over 38,000 square feet of display area inside, and 13 acres with numerous historic buildings.

Our exhibits are as old as the dinosaurs; they cover the history of the Native peoples who lived in this area for millennia; the soldiers and the pioneers who took over this harsh land; and as recent as the plaques unveiled each Spring in the Memorial Hall.
