Building History: Museum Closed
The Shiloh Museum of Ozark History is undergoing an exciting physical transformation. To accommodate this work, the museum’s main building will be closed to the public from February 5 to March 17, 2026. During the renovation period, the historic 1871 Shiloh Meeting Hall will be open on select dates, giving visitors a special opportunity to explore this landmark and its exhibits. Dates and times will be announced soon. As the nation prepares to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, Shiloh is investing in improvements that will enhance the visitor experience, including increased accessibility, updated restrooms, a remodeled reception area, new carpeting, and more. These renovations build on recent milestones, including a new logo, redesigned website, a searchable collections database, and refreshed programming. Visitors are also invited to look ahead to Shiloh’s major America 250 celebration coming in July. Stay tuned for details as we continue building history together!
