Founded in 1968
The Guthrie County Historical Village and Museum believes that we help shape the future through researching and preserving our past and present history. Since 1968, we have been sharing our local treasures with the world. We invite you to see things anew through the lens of our outstanding collections. You’ll be amazed by the massive collection for viewing and learn more than you ever thought possible about Guthrie County - Iowa.
The Village, located on a beautiful 4-acre complex on the southwest side of Panora, Iowa, near the Middle Raccoon River and old Lenon Mill Park, features twelve buildings, numerous exhibits, and thousands of artifacts that explore the history of Guthrie County from 1850 to the early-20th Century.
The majority of our collection has been donated by families and friends in the surrounding communities. If you have not visited the museum recently, we encourage you to take time from your busy schedule to take a stroll through our lovely, little village. The museum is open May 1st to October 15th.
The Guthrie County Historical Village Foundation is a 501c3, nonprofit organization and your donation is tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. All donations are used to continue restoration projects of buildings and exhibits at the Historical Village.
