Herington Historical Museum

Preserving and Sharing the History of our Community

Take a Virtual Tour

Of course we would like to have you visit in person.  Perhaps this brief virtual visit will interest you in making an in-person visit in the near future!

Museums ensure understanding and appreciation for various groups and cultures. They promote better understanding of our collective heritage and foster dialogue, curiosity and self-reflection . Further, they serve to help future generations comprehend their history and recognize the achievements of those who came before them.

The Importance of Museums Today

Children can benefit the most from museums because they are at a unique advantage to see things with a sense of creativity and inspiration. These spaces can foster a sense of wonder and boost self-esteem when paired with interactive learning exhibits that teach kids about leadership, sharing, and doing things for themselves.
