EVENTS
The Fabulous Friday program, every second Friday of the month, features various guest speakers about Buffalo County's history. Organized by Mary Beth Lowe, Janice Martin, Vicki Bissell, and Sharon Martin, these free programs are made available to the public in the West Wing of the Family History Center at the Trails & Rails Museum as part of our mission to continue telling Buffalo County history. Please stay tuned to our "BuffaloCounty HistoricalSociety" Facebook page as we frequently go live during these programs!
FROM BEYOND THE GRAVE
During the fall of the year, when the leaves are turning, the Buffalo County Historical Society hosts presentations of local historical "spirits" from beyond the grave. These apparations provide first person narratives of how it was! Keep an eye on this spooky site for information on the next program!
CHRISTMAS TREE WALK
The 37th annual Christmas Tree Walk
This year's tree walk is the first two weekends in December (December 1st & 2nd and 8th & 9th) and the week in-between (December 5-9). Thus, this is a nine-day event! Come check out dozens of trees decorated by area not-for-profits that tie their mission into this year’s theme which is "Prosperity."
New Visiting Hours:
Sunday through Wednesday
1:00pm through 5:00pm.

And, a Members Only Special Preview
Saturday, December 3rd from 12-1pm
We are also encouraging individuals to take part in decorating a mini-tree/wreath for a silent bid auction benefiting the museum! We have a variety of several MINI – TREES and now WREATHS for anyone interested in decorating a tree benefiting the Trails & Rails Museum.
We will provide the tree/wreath and a strand of lights. You will then decorate the tree however you see fit and bring it back no later than December 2nd!
