The collections, totaling approximately 150,000 items, fall into the following categories: archaeology, photographs, ephemera, newspapers, archives, postcards, three-dimensional historical collections, natural history, library, oral history, audio/visual and art.
The Museum also offers exciting events and programs throughout the year, such as the annual Silent Film Benefit, docent-led tours, school programs, lectures, Open House at the Inn on Mt. Ada, live Telethon (broadcast locally and online) and more.
