Ozark history –the everyday men,
women and children who lived in this
area, in towns and rural communities and
long before that, in bluff shelters around
the Ozark mountains. The exhibits
feature cool artifacts like World War I
gear and colonial clothes that you can
try on, plus toys, tools, instruments and
other items actually used by real people
in their everyday lives.
You can explore six historic buildings
on the museum grounds, including a log
cabin from the 1850s, an 1870s general
store and a house complete with original
furniture and accessories from the World
War II era. It's like stepping back in time.
The museum's monthly Saturday
Series for families features a different
fun activity every month. January's
program "Weaving - Fun or Work?" is a
hands-on program where family members
may try their hands at weaving on one
or more of the educational looms. The
program will be Saturday, January 19,
from 10:00-11:00 a.m.
Also, the Museum's popular
Collector's Day is on January 12,
where people come and display their
personal collections. Kids and adults can
participate and vote on their favorites.
Coming later in 2019 will be a brand
new Native American and prehistoric
section, complete with a bluff shelter and
an amazing collection of artifacts.

looking at artifacts, trying

what life was like "way back
when."
