Our Museum
The Johnson County Historical Society Museum is home to the society's more than 10,000 historic artifacts that portray the diverse and vibrant heritage of the county, from the Meskwaki to early settlers to contemporary times.
Many of these items- from an authentic handcart commemorating the Mormon's historic trek westwards from Iowa to a replica of the beloved Blue Top Motel to a 19th century millstone- are on display in permanent and rotating exhibits that bring history alive. Check our News & Events page for current exhibits.
A unique viewing window enables visitors to see into the archival area, where staff preserve and care for historic artifacts.
