Preserving the Old Mill and Swedish Heritage of the Smoky Valley

Old Mill Museum

Old Mill Museum

The museum preserves the Swedish Heritage of the Smoky Valley. The museum collects, preserves, researches, exhibits and interprets materials related to this heritage with special emphasis on the period from 1870 to 1910.

The museum archives can help find your family roots. If you have ancestors who lived in McPherson County, it’s likely some record of their lives can be found in the historical documents. Have Swedish ancestors? Ask about resources for Swedish research!
