Hedlund House Museum
“Protecting, Preserving, and Presenting Lincoln County's Collective Family, Business and Area History for Today and Tomorrow.”
We are the custodians of memory, anchoring the stories of the high plains settlers into the fabric of the present day.
From the dusty trails of the frontier to the bustling storefronts of Lincoln County's growth, we preserve the artifacts and narratives that shaped the American West.
