We Are So Excited to See You!
First, A Word From Our Director…
“Tuesday, April 6 is a big day for the Marshall County Museum! Beginning at 10:00am we will be open to the public after our COVID-19 hiatus. We have missed the hustle and bustle of researchers, volunteers, visitors, school groups, and even our mailman!
As we open the doors, our staff and volunteers want to be cautious and expect our visitors to do the same. For now, we ask you to wear a mask when entering and maintain a safe distance. Hand sanitizer will be provided at the front desk and throughout the museum.
The train room will be open Saturdays from 11-1 with limitations on the number of people allowed at one time as we do our part to protect our visitors and dedicated volunteers. We hope everyone will enjoy the new and exciting exhibits that staff and volunteers have developed during this closure.”
Warmest Regards,
Linda Rippy
Executive Director

Foker Stonework Tour in Argos
The Marshall County Museum hosted a tram tour of Argos homes featuring the amazing stonework of William Lake Foker in July. Seven trams filled with interested onlookers were entertained & educated about these beautiful bungalow homes prominently built over four decades in the early 1900s. Argos will celebrate this piece of history for years to come!
