Events

The Historical Society of Marshall County conducts numerous monthly, annual, and special events to bring history to the public 
and to raise both organizational awareness and financial resources to preserve history.

Monthly Events need volunteers and include:
  • History on Third Thursdays - Guest speakers & programs
  • Museum Tours - by appointment
  • Sower House Tours " A Step Back in Time" - by appointment 
  • Taylor #4 Country School Re-enactments every Fall & Spring to include each 3rd & 4th grade class in Marshall County

Annual Events are fun and need your support too!
  • Membership Drive - Winter/Spring
  • Annual Meeting - March
  • Thrift Sales - Spring & Fall
  • State Museum Day - Spring
  • Edel Blacksmith Shop Tours - Summer (Memorial Day-Labor Day)
  • Tour of Homes - Fall
  • Christmas Dinner at the Binford House

Special Events arise from time to time to meet unique circumstances.
The recent showing of a new film on Country Schools, filmed partly in Marshalltown at Taylor School #4, was one such occasion. The film was produced by an Iowa couple who have several of their films shown on Iowa Public Television. A copy on DVD is available for purchase from the Historical Society. See our Products page.
