History is for everyone

Saving local stories for the future

The Clarksburg History Museum is open to people of all ages and we are proud to offer free admission. Our facility is handicap accessible and parking is close by.

The museum gift shop is open during our regular hours or you can shop online all the time.

Our museum relies on donations for continuous operation. Become a member, give a legacy gift, or donate artifacts.

We need your help to continue our work. The Clarksburg History museum is able to operate based on monetary and artifact donations from the kindness of our supporters. Without you this important work would not be possible.
