Welcome!
The Old Courthouse Museum and the Pettigrew Home and Museum are two of the best ways to experience history in the region. Interactive exhibits, special programs and speakers, and hands-on activities allow our visitors the opportunity to open their minds to the past and bring history into their lives. Whether student, teacher, or parent, all ages can enjoy what the museums have to offer.
This page includes information about programs, Discovery Packs, and other educational opportunities offered by the Siouxland Heritage Museums. The best part of our programming is that we are FREE!
Thank you for taking an interest in the history of this area and bringing it to your students and families. If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Education Department.
