We had some special visitors this week!

Join Ms. Irene as she goes on an adventure to the Boone County Heritage Museum! There are lots of fun things to see at a museum. She will even show you a few pictures from when she was younger. Be sure to watch until the end so you can see some cool things from the past. Special thanks to the Boone County Heritage Museum to allowing us to come and film inside. Give them a call and schedule a time when you and the whole family can go explore the history of Harrison and the surrounding areas! ... See more

Shiloh Museum of Ozark History

The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History is excited to announce the introduction of a new video series, "Shiloh Shout-Out." This video series will showcase behind-the-scenes happenings at the museum, as well as interpretations of museum artifacts, historic buildings, and much more. Keep an eye out for one of our unique videos every Tuesday and Thursday!

We hope you enjoy our first Shiloh Shout-Out video as we explore the process of developing photos within the museum's darkroom with staff photographer, Bo Williams. Traditional darkrooms are pretty rare nowadays, so we are happy to have such a talented staff member to continue the historic tradition!
