You can join the Grant County Museum Guild and support our wonderful museum with your contribution and receive the museum’s Grassroots magazine. The magazine, edited by Bobbie Lemons,  comes out three times each year and it is a beautiful publication. It features interesting articles and photographs. We encourage you to join the Guild today—we need you. Send us your name, address, phone number etc. Minimum contribution is $12 and other levels of sponsorship range from $100 to $1,000. Contributions to the museum and the private foundation are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law. Please help!

 The Museum is located in Sheridan at 521 Shackleford Road, 72150. The Shackleford address comes from the name of the family—J. J. Shackleford family—that donated the land so that the museum could be built. We are very appreciative of the Shackleford family for their support and continuing efforts to make our facility and grounds first class. Our email address is Museum4@alltel.net. Our phone number is 870-942-4496. You can read about the museum in Grassroots magazine and in The Sheridan Headlight, Sheridan’s local paper. The Headlight’s web address is sheadlite1@aol.com. The Headlight prints many articles about the museum and also publishes a very popular column by Museum Director Bill Lancaster entitled Grant County Scoops.
