Since 1924 the Boone County Historical Society has been preserving the
past for the future. We collect, preserve and exhibit historic artifacts and
records of the people of Boone County. We operate the Boone County
History & Culture Center, which consists of the Walters History Galleries,
the Montminy Art Gallery, the Village at Boone Junction, and the historic
Maplewood House – Columbia’s most beloved 19th-century home.

We are a unique hybrid: the only area history museum and art gallery of
its kind, both under one big, red, shiny roof. We are a unique treasure in
the community – a cultural storehouse full of surprises. Through history
and art exhibits, events, and special offerings such as Meet the Author or
the Blind Boone Piano Concert Series, the Boone County Historical Society
is YOUR cultural arts destination in central Missouri. We are an important
community treasure, educational resource for students, and an important
tourist destination.

The 2019 Hall of Fame Gala will be held on Friday, November 1 at The
Atrium Event Center at the corner of 10th and Walnut Street in Columbia
This year’s honorees include the Honorable Ann Covington, the late Don
Faurot and Buchroeders Jewelry.

We invite you to be a partner in supporting us. Consider being a sponsor
for the 2019 Hall of Fame Gala. Why? Because history MATTERS. It’s the
story of us. Help us continue to preserve our history!
