🇺🇸 This June, join us for a special month-long Guest Lecture Series celebrating American history, culture, and the stories that shaped our nation. Every Saturday, the museum will host distinguished speakers and reinactors for a lecture designed to bring history to life for our community. 📜

This year’s featured speakers include Dave and Roxanne McFarland of the Montgomery County Museum, Professor Ted Goudge of Northwest Missouri State University, local Allan Jordan, and Matthew Volker. Each lecture will offer a unique perspective on American history, culture, and heritage.

Throughout the series, guests will also be able to enjoy live musical performances 🎶 and refreshments from local vendor Wicked Sips 🍋

This unique series offers an opportunity to experience history through storytelling, music, and community. We look forward to welcoming visitors of all ages as we explore the people, places, and events that continue to shape the American experience.

📅 We are incredibly excited to bring this special program to our community and look forward to sharing more details about each lecture in the coming weeks. Stay tuned for individual event announcements, dates, and times!

A huge thank you to the Shenandoah kindergarten class for visiting us last Wednesday during their “Then and Now” unit! 🏫✨ We had such a wonderful time showing the students how everyday tasks used to be done in the past.

The kids had a blast beating rugs with a real rug be**er, writing with feather quills ✒️, and exploring history through hands-on activities 🕰️📚. Seeing their excitement, curiosity, and laughter made the day so special for all of us! 😊

We also want to give a very special thank you to all of our amazing volunteers and the teachers that made this possible! ❤️👏 We truly could not have done this event without your time, energy, and help. Thank you for helping us make history come alive for the next generation! 🏛️
