Excelsior Springs Museum & Archives
The Excelsior Springs Museum & Archives would like to thank our community for the support given for our spring rummage sale. Our community came together with donations and participated in raising $6,600 which will be used to offset expenses as we maintain our two buildings - both over 100 years old. Can’t say enough about all the volunteer hours given by the friends of the museum to make this event such a great success. Thank you one and all. Stop by and tour your museum and live the history thru displays and stories of our special town. ... See MoreSee Less
