It's getting closer! That's right, the Historical Society of Maries County is proud to announce the opening of the new agricultural annex to the Maries County Building on Saturday, August 1, 2026! We are so excited! Volunteers, under the lead of HSMC board member Lori Hayes, have been busy cleaning, moving and hanging items ready to share Maries County's farming and agricultural history. There is so much to see, in addition to the rest of the Maries County Building. We hope you will join us for this much awaited event! We appreciate all the support we have received along the way.

It sometimes takes something new to preserve the old! Osage Brick and Stone is repairing the masonry on the Old Jail Museum. Meanwhile Mike Rowden is putting the finishing touches on the wagon wheel light fixture in the new addition to the Maries County Building. It’s coming along and we can’t wait to see their final work!
