Museum of Hardin County

Directions

Museum of Hardin County Hardin County Genealogical Society is proud to announce the opening of the new museum. Ribbon Cutting and Grand Opening was held Saturday, August 10th, 2013.

Three years in the making, with extensive renovation to the old bank building, the museum will make you Hardin County Proud. The two-story brick building now housing the Museum of Hardin County was constructed circa 1916 as the Hardin County State Bank. Purchased with grant funding by the Hardin County Genealogical Society, the building has been renovated by volunteers. The Museum occupies the first floor, including the old bank vault now used for archival storage. The second floor serves as a meeting room and office of the Hardin County Historical Commission. Visitors can see the past come alive in exhibits of historical artifacts and rare photographs of pioneer settlers, steamboat and railroad commerce, sawmill towns, and oil boom days.
