Housed in the historic village and township hall on Main Street, the small museum offers a fine horse carriage with spoked wheels, antique cameras, old-time medical equipment, ladies' hats and gloves, school and sports memorabilia, equipment and signs from early local businesses, a floor loom and war artifacts – including Civil War era – originally owned by local veterans. One room is dedicated to local farm implements that date back to the days when farming was about more than corn and soybeans. The museum collection also includes about 3,000 local photos, roughly half of which date to the first decades of the 19th century.
