History lives in the photographs, ledgers, and artifacts left behind by the people who built our community — and it's worth protecting. The Perry County Museum is 100% volunteer-run, and every dollar of your membership stays right here in Cannelton to cover building maintenance, archival supplies, utilities, and exhibit upkeep. When you become a 2026 Museum Supporter, you help ensure our doors stay open and our collections are preserved for future generations.
Membership levels:

💛 $25 – Individual Supporter

💛 $50 – Family Supporter

💛 $100 – History Advocate

💛 $250 – Sustaining Patron

All contributions are tax-deductible. Whether you're a lifelong resident or just love local history, there's a place for you here.

Kevin H**p scheduled several work days for us with local veterans and we couldn’t have done it without his help and his network of volunteers. Thank you for your service and your continued service to our community! ❤️🇺🇸

Next Sunday is the start of our Summer Hours: Sundays 1 - 3 pm. Closed on Fathers Day and Holiday Weekends. Special arrangements may be accommodated by appointment.

We start our Summer Hours today - Sundays 1 - 3 pm (central time). We’re renovating two rooms with the help of a matching grant from Perry County ARP Fund Grant. We’re open during renovations, but the two rooms under construction are not. Please excuse our dust while we work to improve our exhibit spaces.
