New temporary display at the Carthage Museum! ⚾️Baseball through the years here in Sweet Carthage. Special thanks to the Rettig family for the loan of some special objects.

The museum is open Sundays from 2-5, and by appointment. This is *not* a permanent exhibit, so if you’re interested in seeing it, make sure to stop by soon.

Today, we celebrate 25 years of preserving the everyday history of our town and the people who call it home.

From that first Pre-Opening invitation to today, the museum has remained a place for stories, memories, and shared roots. We invite you to visit, reflect, and spend a quiet afternoon with local history.

Open Sundays from 2 to 5 pm. Free admission.

Twas the season for joy and a tree trimmed with care
A buggy from Carthage was waiting to share
The No. 11 shining with heartwarming grace
A nod to our past and this sweet little place

Next year a new buggy will join with delight
Only one hundred made for your tree shining bright
Found only at the museum where stories take flight
A keepsake of Carthage to hold close and tight

This tiny bit of Carthage cheer is $6 and shatterproof. It shows the No. 11 Top Buggy from the Tyson and Jones catalog. We made only one hundred. A fresh buggy design will arrive next year.

Drop by our Christmas Open House to purchase!
(or any day that the museum is open.)
