 he
main purpose of the museum is to establish, operate, and maintain
a public museum and to collect, preserve, study and exhibit the
objects, photographs and documents that serve to illustrate the
story of humans and nature in Churchill County.
The museum has a triple mission to serve. One part of this
triple mission is to share our county’s history with museum
visitors. Currently, over 12,000 people visit the museum each
year. Many are from Churchill County but a large majority visits
from all fifty states and many foreign countries.
The second part of our mission is to provide local
people, adults and children, with programs that enlighten and
teach. |

| Special speakers, children’s events,
Association newsletters, changing exhibits, and our yearly
publication serve the community by explaining Churchill County’s
past.
The last part of our mission is to ensure that
our collections of Churchill County artifacts and archival papers
are preserved for the future. This means that the museum must
continue to employ trained staff that will store, catalog, and
maintain our collections properly. The museum’s photographic
collection alone contains over 40,000 photographs! Information
about each of these photographs has been entered into the
computer, making them easy to use for research and exhibit
purposes. The general public is invited to look through the
photographs and copies of most pictures can be purchased through
the museum. |
