About the Society


MHS Beginnings
Picture
The Minerva Historical Society was formed on March 22, 1955.  It is a nonprofit, educational organization, formed to promote public interest in Minerva’s history and folklore.  By collecting, preserving and interpreting material associated with its past we hope to foster knowledge and appreciation of our town.  The Society received its Absolute Charter in 1984 and meets in April, July October and January. ​

​The Methodist Church building in the center of the Olmstedville Hamlet was deeded to the Society in 1979 and by 1981, the museum was opened to the public.  The museum opens every year on Minerva Day in July with a brand new theme and exhibit.
