Museums play a crucial role in preserving history and culture especially at a local level. At the Horatio Museum our local culture in on display to be shared and enjoyed by all. It is a place where time can seemingly be suspended and the past brought back to life through pictures and memorabilia. Your local Horatio Museum will bring back memories of the theater(s), Polly′s Café, the old school, the Drug Store soda counter, the old railroad depot, and so much more.

We do not have regular hours, but the City Hall employees are always happy to open this storehouse of memories at any time. And, if you need weekend hours, just let us know. Our staff is happy to assist with these requests and make sure everyone feels welcome!
