The museum collection focuses on local history. It contains recorded and transcribed personal stories of hundreds of Perry area residents, along with more than 12,000 photographs depicting community life throughout Perry’s history. The museum presents Perry history to the public through exhibits, community programs, and historic local buildings that have been restored. Interpretive spaces and exhibits are ongoing at Perry High School and the Carnegie Library Museum. Temporary exhibits are periodically displayed in the Security Bank Building and local businesses.
