To collect, preserve, exhibit and share those artifacts, photographs
and documents that serve to illustrate the story of man and nature in Churchill County
The museum truly brings the past to life with its engaging exhibits, changing displays and programs involving the community and our guests in preserving these important pages in the history of the settling of the West.
The museum has a triple mission to serve. Currently, over 12,000 people visit the museum each year. Many are from Churchill County, but a large majority visit from all fifty states and many foreign countries. One part of this triple mission is to share our county's history with these visitors.
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, CCMA newsletters, changing exhibits and our yearly publication, In Focus, serve the community by sharing 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. This means that the museum must continue to employ trained staff that will store, catalog, and maintain our collections properly for future generations to enjoy.
