Who We Are

Founded in 1974, the founding members of the Gilliam County Historical Society wanted to have a place for people to go where they could research and learn about their relatives, they also had a vision that they should build a museum where the implements of the past could be preserved and viewed by the present generations. Because of the forward thinking of the founding members the collections and events here at the Gilliam County Historical Society and Museum are second to none.

You are cordially invited to our history museum, where you will get the chance to expand your knowledge through our exclusive collection and tour. You will be exposed to new ideas and different exhibitions that will develop your mind.

Our ever-growing institution is dedicated to expanding our visitors’ knowledge. Ultimately, we are in the business of education, and we believe in providing learning experiences for children and educational opportunities for adults. With our temporary exhibitions and events, as well as our permanent collections, we are sure that everyone will leave our history museum with new knowledge.
