Towns & Communities

Eastern Montgomery County is made up of numerous small towns and communities, each with its own distinctive culture and character. Thanks to the diligence of local families, much of this history has been preserved for succeeding generations to appreciate. The museum is indebted to those who have been willing to share their unique knowledge and perspectives about their hometowns, along with treasured mementos.

These images are a small representative sample of our collection. Visit the museum to see all items on display, or contact us about accessing available files.
