Representing the largest history museum in our region dedicated to local history and Native American culture, the Clarke Historical Museum is committed to operating a free museum with access to all. We are able to do this through the generosity of our members, whose dues allow us to not only keep the doors open and the lights on, but to offer free admission. Located in the heart of Old Town, we pride ourselves on being the cultural and historical hub for the community. Serving over 14,000 visitors a year, we are a well utilized museum, serving the needs of our community. Please consider partnering with us by becoming a member or donating today.
