The
collection of the Melrose Area Historical Society is stored
and displayed in the Melrose Area
Museum. This collection represents the communities and townships within
School District 740. Because the
people of the area recognize the value of preserving their
history and heritage for many generations to come, the collection has grown rapidly over
the years and now totals more than 2000 indexed
items. Most of these are on display in the various
rooms of the museum.
Below are
samples of the items and histories that are depicted in
these displays. You will want to visit the museum to
truly appreciate the extent of the collection.
