The Grant County Museum was established in 1963 by Prattsville High School history teacher Elwin Goolsby as a local history teaching project for his students. For years, the growing collections were housed in various classrooms. In 1970, the chamber of commerce purchased this building as a home for the museum. The museum remained there until the opening of a new building in 1994.
