Welcome to the Rural Heritage Museum's Website...

The Rural Heritage Museum (RHM) will not only represent the past but also a part of the future.  This museum’s vision is one step closer to becoming a reality as the RHM is in the final steps of acquiring a 22-acre parcel of land with a pond on the premises. 

  The Rural Heritage Museum will be an interactive learning and teaching campus with activities and displays that educate children and adults about the rural everyday life and occupations of our ancestors from 1846, when Iowa became a state, to the present. 

The foundation of the RHM will be education, rural history and community.

We are currently starting our fundraising campaign for the Rural Heritage Museum in Sherrill.  If you would like to donate or would like more nformation, please call Melvin Christensen at 563-552-2058 and leave a message. 

The museum is incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization and donations are tax-deductible.  A Rural Heritage Fund has been established at the Community Foundation of Greater Dubuque, for more information on donations please click here.
