About Us

The mission of the museum has been to acquire, preserve, and interpret items from or related to Mills County that have historical significance to the residents and visitors of the county.

The Mills County Historical Museum is managed by a board of directors. For 2023, the officers are Don Kissire, president; Linda Johnson, vice-president; Brenda Brooks, secretary/treasurer. The other board members are Sam Duncan, Ramona Flores, Leslie Hammond, Jan Hartwell, Rose Lee Head, Tommy Head, James Knight, Mark Lawrence, Diana Mullin and Gayle Smith. Sylvia Bindel serves on the Advisory Board.

The majority of the exhibit work done on behalf of the Mills County Historical Museum has been completed by volunteers. We are dedicated to protecting and showcasing the collection on behalf of the community members who donated artifacts relevant to the history of Mills County.
