The Museum features rotating exhibits that explore different aspects of Matthews’ history. These displays draw from the Museum’s collections as well as items generously loaned by members of the community.
Exhibits may focus on topics such as local schools, businesses, military service, transportation, and community traditions. Special displays are updated throughout the year, giving visitors new reasons to return and discover something different.
