Museum History
The Minerva Historical Society was formed in 1955. It is a nonprofit, educational organization formed to promote public interest in Minerva's History and folklore. 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. Exhibit items include items kept in museum storage and those loaned to the museum by our local residents.

Exhibits
The museum has two permanent exhibits -- THE TREE OF LIFE Mural with charts and files to research ancestry of the original settlers of Minerva, and WINSLOW HOMER prints of his original oils and water colors painted here in Minerva.
The museum is also home to religious artifacts, remaining from the building’s original purpose as a Methodist Church.
