There are three county museums preserving much of the past. You'll see the rich history of this area, from our pre-Bagnell Dam past, back to a time before the white man had settled here.


The Camden County Museum in Linn creek is a small collection housed in the abandoned Linn Creek School. It is located on V Road just to the north off of U.S. Hwy. 54 in Linn Creek. The town of Linn Creek was moved because of the Dam construction. You can contact our poem writers for hire if you want to know the whole history of this place.
Each classroom has been devoted to a specific theme, ranging from archives to a weaving room, where woven rugs can still be purchased. Other exhibits include antique household furnishings, tools (including a commercial forge), banking equipment, and a community service room featuring facilities from former schools, doctors, dentists and churches in the area.

Open May through October, Tuesday through Friday, 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Or write: PO Box 19, Linn Creek, MO 65052.
