Luther Valley Historical Society and Museum preserves and shares the history of the area and surrounding communities. Each month we will update this tab with stories, photographs, documents, and announcements tracing local settlement, industries, schools, churches, families, and notable events. This month we introduce the Museum itself—how it began, who was involved, and how it operates today. Look for upcoming posts that will dive into specific historical subjects such as early settlers, the development of local churches and schools, agricultural history, and notable families.
