permanent exhibits

Permanent displays invite you to wander through the history of the area pioneers called the White River Valley. We now call that area Auburn, Kent, Algona and Pacific.

Visitors wander through beautifully crafted displays, layered with oral history quotes, historic photographs, hundreds of artifacts and explanatory labels. Life-like settings invite you to become involved, climbing aboard the 1924 caboose, exploring the settler's cabin and wandering into Ms. Hall's hat shop--just to mention a few!
