Grant County Historic Musuem

*Due to fire this site is currently UNDERCONSTUCTION*

Grant County Historic Museum and Village

Travel with us back in time to see early Grant County with a walk through the past, recreated in Grant County's Historical Museum & Village. This historic museum, situated on 31/2 acres, is a complex of 36 buildings, historic settings, colorful displays and objects that will fascinate even the youngest in your family. This museum provides you the opportunity to actually enter the buildings and experience what pioneer life of a bygone era was all about.

Featured is a restored one room school house (circa 1910), a complete authentic pioneer homestead, an old-time saloon, a blacksmith shop featuring a working force, an original pioneer line cabin, a print shop with antique printing equipment, the Village's very own camera shop which houses over 300 vintage cameras, the list goes on and on!

See the Village come to life at the annual Living Museum weekend in the first part of June during the annual Sage-n-Sun festival (2nd weekend of June each year), when the Museum hosts a hootin' tootin' good old fashioned shootout. The event is repeated during September and called "Pioneer Days." It becomes a weekend long event where visitors can relive the past as a real Cowboy.
