A new temporary exhibit, “Organizations of Lyon County” is now open at the Lyon County Museum, 301 West Lyon Street, Marshall. The exhibit features objects, photographs, and documents from the Lyon County Museum’s collection related to organizations in Lyon County. Examples include: Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, American Legion, Lions Club, Rotary, Kiwanis, Knight of Columbus, Masons, 4-H, and much more.
The theme of the exhibit coincides with the America 250 and America Gives Initiative. The United States has a long history of service and civic engagement. The initiative encourages Americans to take a “Year of Service” pledge, fostering community, patriotism, and a lasting culture of giving back to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States in 2026. The initiative is designed to be inclusive and to highlight the American history and spirit of service in all its forms.
“Organizations of Lyon County” is located on the 2nd floor of the Lyon County Museum. The exhibit will close in 2027.
