Welcome to the Grundy County Museum

Stepping through the doors is a step back in time.

The Museum houses a large collection of letters, uniforms, weapons, toys, tools, machinery, equipment, photographs, furniture, and information about the lives of our county's leaders/citizens and their accomplishments and challenges.

Immerse yourself in the technology of our past and imagine your life in one of the "time capsule" rooms. It was a different time...you'll see.

"The things that are common to me, because I grew up with them, are new to our youngsters. I had no idea the Baker School one-room schoolhouse would be such a hit. That's why we must preserve our memories and history for our grandchildren and future generations."
Dewayne Marlay, former Board President
