Museum is Closed Until May 1
To do our part in “flattening the curve” during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Gage County Museum will be CLOSED to the public until May 1, 2020.
We are taking this measure in an abundance of caution to maintain the health and well-being of our visitors, staff, volunteers and our community.
