Our Mission

We use the past to connect people to the community today, address its challenges, and make it a better place to live, learn, and explore.

We collect it, preserve it, and share it - and we invite you to share your part of it, too.

What We Do

Whether we're creating exhibits, going into schools and seniors homes, or working with our many community partners, one thing never changes:

We tell great stories.

We can explain how Creston got its wacky time zone. We can tell you about the steamship that became a tractor (sort of), the first airplane to land in Creston, and the teacher who refused to be fired.

More importantly, we tell the story of the Creston Valley: the people, challenges, and successes that have made the Creston Valley what it is today - and which will carry it into the future.

We can even help you tell the greatest story of all: your own.

Join us and help make it happen!
