The museum was originally founded by seven teachers from the old Roosevelt Elementary School with an initial grant the National Endowment for the Humanities. The collection originally consisted of scrapbooks from various local families but has now since been expanded since then to include various artifacts, paintings and other memorabilia from local residents. Upon the school's closing in 1980, the museum was moved to the Brown School before settling into its current facility in 1983.
