Boone County Historical Society

Since our founding in 1924, we’ve been preserving Boone County’s history for future generations. We collect, preserve, and exhibit historic artifacts, records, and artwork of the people of Boone County. We're celebrating our Centennial year of protecting, preserving, and showcasing our Boone County History with exciting and informative exhibits, events, and opportunities to experience local art, culture, and history.

The Boone County Historical Society is a non-profit organization that owns and operates its physical presence, the Boone County History & Culture Center.  The Center comprises the Walters History Galleries, the Montminy Art Gallery, the Village at Boone Junction, The River-Horse Pavilion, and the historic Maplewood House – Columbia’s most beloved 19th-century home. Thank you for your support of our very important mission! Please follow us on social media @boonehistory to keep up with all things Boone County history!
