The Available Collection in the Warden Historical Society
The Warden Historical Society’s collections include hundreds of photos, letters and documents, oral histories and oral history tapes, maps, newspaper clippings, and Adams County County government records dating back to the 19th century. Warden Historical Society is continually adding to their collections through donations from Adams County County community members.
Several thousand items are on display at the Othello Museum each year. These items tell the story of life in the area before it became a Adams County county — who lived here and how they made their living; how the Adams County County was explored and governed; what kinds of crops were grown; how Adams County communities developed; how irrigation projects brought water to drylands; how telephone lines were erected across rugged terrain in Adams County County; what types of businesses served residents here over time; how Adams County people socialized in early communities; what kind of role.
