​Virginia Area Historical Society

The Heritage Museum will be closed on Friday and Saturday, May 2 - 3, 2025. 

Heritage Museum

​Located in beautiful Olcott Park, the museum complex consists of the former park superintendent's residence, a Finnish-style log house, and a 1930s tourist cabin. Permanent exhibits depict logging and lumbering industries, and  Olcott Park's Master Gardener Gunnar Peterson.

Temporary Exhibits

The museum has a number of rotating exhibits that are fun to work with.  Visit us to learn about some of our important historical figures.  They range from an infamous US Presidential candidate to a well-loved doctor and from artists to musicians.
