PLEASE NOTE: We are following the suggestions from the CDC and are suspending our regularly scheduled activities at the Ozark County Historium and will be closed for the next couple of weeks. It's a shame, because we'd LOVE to show you our current exhibit, Missouri's Struggle for Statehood. But hopefully we will be back up and running before too long. In the meantime, work on your family tree! Sort your family photos! Write your own personal story! Fill your self-isolation time with productive, meaningful work that will benefit future generations. Have fun!

We are so pleased to invite everyone to visit our new exhibit, The Struggle for Statehood! This wonderful display is a museum-quality exhibit and is on loan to us from the Missouri Humanities Council. In the photo, MHC employee Claire Bruntrager is shown after she came from St. Louis to help get the exhibit set up. We will be hosting this exhibit for five more weeks, so you have plenty of time to plan your visit. You'll be impressed, and you'll learn a lot about the history of Missouri, the impact it had on the Union and the controversy it inspired. Call our facility at 417-679-2400 for more information. Hope to see you there!
