Meeker County Museum Events

The Meeker County Museum staff has a number of events coming up during the month of August. They will have a booth this weekend at the Meeker County Fair.

Museum Executive Director Danelle Erickson says they will be set up in Commercial Building #3. She says they’ll have some artifacts and visitors to the booth can try to guess what they are.

Erickson says there will be a Civil War Roundtable meeting on August 8th at the G.A.R. Hall at 308 North Marshall Avenue at 1:30 p.m. and Shannon Smith – a professor at St. John’s University and the College of St. Benedict – will be speaking. She says they will have a Civil War Spy Mystery at the Museum from August 14th through the 24th which is a free event with puzzles, word games and clues to help you learn about history in a fun way.

Erickson says the Antique Car Run will be making a stop on August 10th in the 9 a.m. hour between Central Park and the Museum so they always look forward to that day. She says the Meeker County Museum and G.A.R. Hall is open Tuesdays through Fridays from 10-to-4 and Saturdays from noon-to-4 and you can get more information at meekercomuseum.org.
