PLAN YOUR VISIT
Exhibits
Plan to spend at least half an hour exploring the exhibits.
Our exhibitions showcase different aspects of Aberdeen history, including the canning industry, railroads, local businesses, sports, and Aberdeen Proving Ground.
Our displays periodically change, so there is always something new to see.
Library
The Museum has a small library of resource materials pertaining the greater Aberdeen area, including yearbooks from Aberdeen High School dating back to 1938, local cookbooks, books about trains, Cal Ripken, decoys, local history, the military, Aberdeen Proving Ground, and more.
You are invited to sit and browse through the books.
However, we ask that you keep in mind that some of our collections are very old and often fragile, so we request our guests be careful with each item.
No items may be removed the Museum.
Research
The Museum has a vast archive of documents, photos, news clippings, and paper ephemera of the greater Aberdeen area that we make available to researchers.
