The Phelps County Historical Society is a not-for-profit institution with a mission to preserve and provide access to architecture, artifacts and educational materials that portray the history of Phelps County, Missouri; and to increase public interest and involvement in local history projects. We hold three museum spaces in trust for the public, including an 1860 jail and courthouse and an 1838 hand hewn log cabin which served as the counties first courthouse.
