Celebrating Our Citizens!

The Old (1958) Courthouse Story.
Learn about how this building and its predecessors came to be.
Continuing to celebrate all our citizens every day
Update - Jan. 10, 2026
​​​
On Jan. 8 your Museum, Board of Directors, and the Volunteer Strategic Planning Committee presented a proposal to the County Community Service committee, charged with evaluating the Museum's plans for an enhanced Cultural History Experience moving forward.
In a lengthy discussion following it is unclear what recommendation that group will make to the County Commission. At this point, please contact your Commissioners to voice your support for (1) extending the lease in its current form, and (2) providing funding to supplement the funds raised by the Museum.
Staff is currently working without pay since May of 2025.
We are so grateful to our volunteers and staff for a wonderful work on going.
It is our hope that the value the museum brings to our county will be seen clearly and affirmed in enhanced county support of the important work of
"Celebrating our citizens"
past, present, and future.
With gratitude,
Susanne Hudson, Old Courthouse Inc.
