Our Mission and the Dedicated People Pursuing It

Mission Statement

Connect the past to the present for the benefit of future generations.

Who We Are

The Henry County Historical Society of Missouri is a non-profit organization committed to preserving and showcasing our county's rich history and culture.

We are deeply grateful for the support and involvement of our community, especially the people who manage and oversee our facilities and operations.

Our officers, board members, trustees, directors, and volunteers are hardworking, dedicated individuals who share a passion for our mission. They generously donate their time, skills, and resources to make our museum and historic properties an educational and welcoming place for visitors of all ages and backgrounds. We recognize that without them, our organization would not exist.
