Flagg Township Museum

"The mission of the Flagg Township Historical Society and Museum is to stimulate interest in Flagg Township history through education, research, collection and preservation of information for the benefit of the public of today and in the future."

History of the Building and Museum

The building in which the Flagg Township Museum is now housed was originally built in 1884 as the City and Town Hall which also included the fire and police stations. After City and Town Hall outgrew this building, it was scheduled to be torn down and used as a parking lot. The Flagg Township Historical Society quickly expressed interest in using the building as a museum. City and Town Hall generously "sold" the building to the Society for $1.00.

Architectural aspects of the building's original function, including the jail cell and historical fire station doors, are still conserved within the Museum.

The Flagg Township Museum has over 20,000 prehistoric and historic artifacts and we are getting more each day. All of our artifacts are unique testaments to life in the Flagg Township area. Some of our most notable artifacts include the Partin-Palmer automobile, uniforms from the Civil and World Wars, prehistoric stone tools, historical medical devices, student desks from one-room schools, and 18th-20th century women's and men's clothing.
