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.
