About the Shannon County Museum
The museum relies on volunteers for staffing and is not always open as planned, so if you come and the museum is closed call one of the numbers on the door and a volunteer will open the museum if possible.
The museum has many local historical items on display, a gallery of art by local artists, a library of books on the area and genealogical information, and books on the local area for sale. In addition, the museum participates in several events during the year outside the museum. The museum is in Eminence on Main Street (Highway 19) about a block south of the Court House.
