What We Do

 

Our museum prides itself in our displays of artifacts from our Clovis township history and the families of the surrounding areas that have created our "Clovis way of life".  This history not only celebrates the immigrants to the area from the early 1900s, but also the local natives that used the area for their livelihood.  A separate part of the museum honors our Clovis Veterans of WWI, WWII, and Korea.
