Meeker County Museum at the GAR Hall

Meeker County Museum at the GAR Hall The Meeker County Museum works to preserve the stories and artifacts of Meeker County and the G.A.R.

A fascinating Civil War Museum that has been kept as close as possible to the original meeting hall of the Civil War Veterans who built it. On the east side, a two-story addition was added 50 years ago that is the Meeker County Historical Society Museum.
