Reviews
"Did work years ago moving a structure to this location and reassembling it. Was so impressed by the people who run this place and how they care to preserve history. Will definitely be back with no kids so I can actually read more of the articles."
"Great local history museum. Neat things for all ages. Open 1 to 4 pm on the weekends. Free to go, donations encouraged."
"Terrific county museum with an eclectic collection of local and western items. The museum has a large enough collection to rotate items so we will need to return to view additional pieces."
"The museum was very interesting and our tour guide was informative and fun. The curator has done an excellent job and showcased Waterloo and county wonderfully. Take your family and friends for a great day!"
"This museum showcases local artifacts with an emphasis on wagons, equestrian gear (bridles, saddles, tack) and a few antique vehicles. It's quite surprising to find such an extensive collection. They also have an actual storefront of a general store with representative goods. Interesting!"
