About Grundy County Museum

The Grundy County Historical Society and Museum holds a wide collection of letters, uniforms, weapons, toys, tools, machinery, photographs, and furniture that tell the story of county leaders and citizens. Visitors can step into rooms styled as time capsules showing life in earlier decades. The site spans three buildings fronting Tinsman Avenue: the Main Building, the Baker School Building, and the Annex Building. The museum also welcomes groups and tours, and guides can be arranged around a group's particular interests.
