For the last 28 years, the Polk County Historical Association Museum has followed its mission to collect, preserve, and educate both the community and visitors about our colorful heritage.

The new year presented us with an exciting opportunity and we moved in with the House of Flags Museum at 33 Gibson Street in Columbus. We are thrilled to announce our move and the Grand Re-Opening were both a resounding success. We are so very grateful to all our donors for their generous support and our volunteers that accomplished this colossal feat, carefully handling thousands of precious artifacts, articles, pictures and more. (Have you ever moved an antique moonshine still?)

As the House of Flags is the only museum of its kind in the United States, we believe that this move will enhance the visitor experience and become an important attraction for our community showcasing both museums!

To continue our mission, we still need your help. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation.
