Yes, We Are Open!

The Murray County Museum is open for visitors Tuesday – Friday, 10am – 5pm and Saturday, 10am – 2pm…no appointment necessary.

Take a look at the frequently asked questions below to find out how you can visit the Murray County Museum.

Do I have to make an appointment?

No. With most of our staff members back to work in the museum building we are able to accommodate visitors without the need for an appointment.

Can I come in to do research?

Yes. Our research section is open. While you do not need an appointment to do research, if you give us a call before you come in we can have your research materials gathered so you can make the most of your time here at the museum.

 Can I call/email/Facebook Message to research?

Absolutely! This is a great alternative to coming in to the museum in case you live far away or are either unable or unwilling to come in-person. Contact staff with your research question. Initial research will be free of charge and further, in depth research will cost $20/hour.

Can I come in to volunteer?

Yes! We have several different projects that would be great for volunteers! If you are interested in volunteering contact the museum to set up a time that works for you.

Can I drop off a donation to the museum?

Yes. We ask that you call ahead to find out if what you plan to donate would fit into the Murray County Historical Society Collection. If so, you can come into the museum to drop off your donation.

What if I have other questions that you didn’t answer here?
