GATHER.

Community is about the moments when we gather together to share our stories. CCHM invites you to experience those stories through our Events, Tours, and Exhibits.

Save.

From the objects we cherish, to the stories we tell, each of us play a part in our collective history. Help CCHM save those moments by Donating, becoming a Member, or Volunteering today.

SHARE.

History is full of fascinating stories and events ready to be shared. Uncover new stories through CCHM’s Research Library and Digital Collections. Or browse our Services and see how we can help you preserve our shared history.

WHAT WE DO

The Clark County Historical Society (CCHS) was established in 1917 to assist in the preservation of historic sites. Today, we are a vibrant museum featuring exhibits, talks, and events focusing on local stories across all segments of Clark County’s history. We embrace those memories and care for the history being written everyday, so they are never forgotten.
