Today, on July 4, 2026 we created a new rotating exhibit at the Christian County Museum that details the birth of our nation on this year 250 years ago. It also describes the Louisiana Purchase that contained the future state of Missouri 223 years ago, the birth of the Missouri Territory that came about 214 years ago, the birth of the state of Missouri that occurred 205 years ago, and the creation of Christian County, Missouri 167 years ago. Happy Birthday to all of us Christian County residents! See MoreSee Less

During Market Days on the Square in Ozark July 4th pop into the Christian County Museum for some Hands on History! See if you can write like the signers of the Declaration of Independence. There will be quill pens made of turkey feathers (and washable ink!) to practice writing like they did 250 years ago! See MoreSee Less

Christian County lost a treasure last night. Mabel Phillips has passed away. She was born November 30, 1946 and so died at the age of 79 yrs and 7 months. Mabel was the director of the Christian County Library for 26 years and served admirably in that position. After her retirement in 2013 she dedicated many hours to the preservation of genealogical research and transcribed and indexed extensive lists of Christian County cemeteries and the tombstones therein. Her work creating those databases will aid future generations for many years to come in finding and confirming their ancestors interred in Christian County. Mabel was a ‘Lifetime Member’ of the Christian County Museum and Historical Society and will be greatly missed by all of us who cherished her knowledge and work ethic.U*P*D*A*T*E*! THERE WILL BE A DROP-IN MEMORIAL CELEBRATION OF THE LIFE OF MABEL PHILLIPS AT THE CHRISTIAN COUNTY MUSEUM SATURDAY, JULY 11, FROM 6PM TO 8PM. THE MUSEUM IS IN THE LARGE ROCK BUILDING ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE OZARK SQUARE AT 100 ELM ST. IN OZARK, MISSOURI. See MoreSee Less
