Our headquarters features engaging exhibits exploring the distinct villages of St. George, the storied working waterfront that has shaped life here for generations, and the granite quarrying industry that put St. George on the map. You'll also find exhibits dedicated to the many one-room schoolhouses that once dotted our town, along with a wonderful selection of historical objects and photographs drawn from our ever-growing collections.
Beyond the exhibits, our headquarters is a hub for all things St. George history.
