The Minerva Historical Society was formed in 1955. It is a nonprofit, educational organization that promotes 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 each year, on Minerva Day, in June/July with a brand-new theme and exhibit. The exhibits are loaned to the museum by our local residents.
The museum has two permanent exhibits — THE TREE OF LIFE Mural with charts and files to research the ancestry of the original settlers of Minerva, and WINSLOW HOMER prints of his original oils and watercolors done here in Minerva.
