Is the museum ADA compliant?
At this time, the museum is not fully ADA compliant. We are actively exploring ways to improve accessibility in the future. The museum is housed in a historic former church building which presents some limitations. There is a single step at the main entrance and some exhibits are located on that level. There are two steps to additional main floor exhibits. There is a lower level with a full flight of stairs.
We are committed to making your visit as inclusive as possible.
If you have accessibility needs or are unable to navigate stairs, please contact us ahead of your visit. We’re happy to provide photos of exhibits or, in some cases, bring selected items to you for viewing. director@westonhistoricalmuseum.org
Is there a public restroom?
Yes. It is in the lower lever and accessible by stairs.
Is there a water fountain in the museum?
No. You can fill water bottles in the restroom sink on the lower level accessible by stairs.
How do I request research?
For research requests, email details of your request to: curator@westonhistoricalmuseum.org.
What are the current exhibits?
Our exhibits span two floors and present a broad view of American history through the lens of our region—a true microcosm of the nation’s story. Native peoples lived along the resource-rich Missouri River as early as 10,000–12,000 years ago. Following the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, immigrants came to Weston in search of opportunity. The town, established in 1837, also became home to both enslavers and the enslaved during its time as a busy river port. Many others passed through on their journey west.
Throughout the museum, you’ll find everyday artifacts paired with compelling stories that reflect the complexity and growth of a young nation.
