Greetings

Thank you for visiting our website, we’re glad you’re here! The Heritage Museum Society was formed in 1993 in order to help the Heritage Museum fulfill their mission by providing volunteers and funding for special projects and events. We’ve successfully applied for grant funding for a new roof, sump pump, archival supplies and spacesaver shelving, traveling exhibits, portable research tools and much more. We are proud of our heritage here in the Independence and Monmouth area and strive to educate new comers of the incredible journey these and nearby communities have taken to make our towns unique and thrive.

We actively collect material for several family collections, past community events, historic homes and present day objects that tell the story of what has happened in the recent past. Please, enjoy your visit.

Today is the present, tomorrow the future, and yesterday is our history.
