In July of 2018, the Polk County Historical Society’s Museum moved from the Hawkes Children’s Library building on S. College Street to a larger and more accessible building at 117 West Avenue. The Hawkes building is now an event space (top floor/garden) and a Genealogical Research Library (basement). Our new building includes a spacious showroom with four themed side rooms, such as our wonderful Sterling Holloway exhibit. Both locations are open on Thursdays, and the museum is also open Fridays and Saturdays.





We have both a Facebook Business Page, and a Facebook Group. The business page is run by the Museum Director and includes event information and news on exhibits and presentations. The group is community run and a wealth of collected photos and stories from the general public. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
