The Camden County Museum keeps old Linn Creek in view

The Camden County Historical Society says its museum is in the former Linn Creek School House and preserves photographs, artifacts, and genealogy material from across the county.

Old and new Camden County meet in Linn Creek. The Camden County Museum is in the former Linn Creek School House. Its collections point to Old Linn Creek, genealogy work, local photographs, historic journals, and exhibits tied to towns across the county.

That makes the museum more than a rainy-day stop. It helps explain what the lake changed and what older county communities looked like before the shoreline became the main way many people picture Camden County.

A family-history search, an old place name, or a question about Camdenton, Laurie, Macks Creek, Montreal, Osage Beach, Richland, Sunrise Beach, or Stoutland can start here. For legal records, move from the museum story to county or state archives.
