Ames History at Home

Museum Hours

The museum building is currently closed for major renovations and expansion. We look forward to welcoming you to the new and improved museum building in Summer 2024.

In the meantime, enjoy our digital resources, online collections, and history activities to do at home. Feel free to share these resources on social media - use the hashtags: #AmesHistory #AmesHistoryatHome
