Incorporated in 2002 as a 501(c)3 non profit organization, the Quincy Valley Historical Society and Museum has grown through the dedication of volunteers, the generosity of private donors and support from public tourism funding. Through years of community effort, the historic Reiman-Simmons House and Pioneer Church were beautifully restored by 2009. Today, our heritage campus includes welcoming park grounds, historic outbuildings, and the Heritage Barn - creating a special gathering place for history, culture, learning and community events.
Education is at the heart of what we do, from our hands-on Time Travelers school field trips to guest speakers, concerts, festivals, family-history research, books and publications, we provide a variety of programs and events for all generations. But QVHSM is more than a collection of historic buildings and artifacts - it is a place for people. Our volunteers, members, supporters and visitors all play a part in keeping the Quincy Valley’s history alive. Whether you are here to explore the campus, take a tour, attend an event, discover your family history, volunteer or any other way you spend time with us, we invite you to be part of our story.
We are proud to preserve and share the heritage of the Quincy Valley. We love creating opportunities for our community to gather, learn, connect, remember and celebrate. Together we are “preserving the past, and inspiring the future.”
