The Runnells Historical Society museum was originally the Runnells Latter Day Saints Church. The beautiful pulpit & organ are on display. Can you name the organist in the picture? Did you or your family get married here?

A few of you have reached out asking about the car show for this year. Last year we held our final Runnells Historical Society Car Show. Knowing that last year had a record number of classics lining Runnells streets, beautiful weather & the best car community join us, it made our difficult decision a bit more comforting knowing that we ended on the best note!! Thank you to all of you that made the ride to Runnells to spend the day with us for 10 years of the Runnells Historical Society annual car show!! We appreciate the support from each of YOU!! Please continue to make the ride to Runnells to visit our awesome lil corner of Polk County!! Check out the Runnells Historical Society museum, Morgans University of Runnells for a sandwich & Lori’s Ice Cream Shoppe for a sweet treat!!!
