WEBSTER COUNTY HISTORY MUSEUM

Take a look into the history of Webster County. The building was constructed in 1911 through a grant from the Carnegie Foundation. This made Marshfield the smallest community in the U.S. to receive such a grant. You will see photographs, machinery, tools and housewares that were used by the early settlers. Special exhibits are held throughout the year. Visit the gift store for T-shirts, hats, Christmas ornaments and cemetery books to help those who are tracing family roots. The annex next door houses the Geneology Department with public records and newpapers to help search for family history. The "Walk of Fame" begins on the sidewalk in front of the Webster County History Museum. Six famous Missourians are honored on the walk of fame each year during the Annual Cherry Blossom Festival, which is held in April.
