The Miami County Historical Society & Museum was founded in 1965 and is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 corporation located in Paola, Kansas, and staffed solely by volunteers. Celebrating over fifty years of preserving Miami County history, the Museum is committed to collecting and preserving artifacts and information that document Miami County’s deep and rich heritage and to the production of interpretive exhibits, educational programs, and publications. We look forward to servicing you.
