The Clay County Historical Society is proud to welcome you to their fine museum complex which was made a reality in 1980 to exhibit and protect the county's artifacts and archival materials.


Near the Museum is Heritage Park - a quarter block outdoor exhibit of agricultural equipment from the 1880s through the 1940s. Also included is a rural one-room school house and a railroad caboose. Across the street is the newly erected large exhibits building to house antique tractors, steam engines, stationary engines, buggies, cars, trucks, fire equipment, blacksmith shop, etc.
