POMEROY–The Garfield County Museum will now be open to the public each Friday beginning September 4 at 1-4 p.m.

Visitors are required to adhere to all Covid-19 precautions while at the museum. We ask, if you feel sick, please visit us when you feel better. Patrons will wear a mask, (a mask will be provided to those without one) and practice social distancing of six feet in addition to other COVID-19 protocols.

Visitors will notice new displays with artistic touches provided by Charis and Adleigh Gates. The girls enjoyed dressing mannequins with Grandma Gates’ help. A dress worn in the early 1900s at the Mardi Gras by local author, Marion Oneal, is stylishly shown, along with accompanying accessories.

We do research for those people who are interested in their family history and also research Garfield Co history, for those making that request. We have an extensive library of material.

We look forward to you visiting Pomeroy’s historic museum located at 708 Columbia Street.
