While closed to the public, research requests can be submitted for those looking to have searches completed by an in-house volunteer.

The Clinton County History Center’s museum and gift shop will be closing to the public for the 2021 season following their last day open on Saturday, Dec. 18 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

The museum will reopen to the public in March 2022.

During this three-month period, staff will be working to update temporary exhibit spaces and increase the visitor experience for next year.

Currently on display, the Center is featuring a 1918 Flu Pandemic exhibit focusing on its effects throughout Clinton County 100 years ago. The museum is also decorated for the holiday season with numerous Christmas trees and many items reflecting on fun childhood memories. Two silver, aluminum trees are available to view as well as a color wheel and gift boxes from the popular G. C. Murphy Store in Wilmington.

It’s a great opportunity to share past holiday memories with grandkids, friends, or family!
