The Gum Springs Historical Society's Museum & Cultural Center opened its doors on November 24th, 1996. The Museum receives no Federal or State funding. The Museum is supported by your generous donations, membership, and fundraisers. It is the aim of the Museum to display a dynamic exhibit of the history of the Gum Springs Community. Plans are to eventually make a visit to the Center a vivid multimedia experience via computers and interactive audio-visual displays much like the Smithsonian Institution has done in Washington, DC. We also plan to provide virtual visits to the Center via the Internet. With your help, we will make this vision a reality.
Featured Exhibits: The Museum is featuring a photographic exhibit of Gum Springs' residents and founding families. Many of these photos are close to 100 years old, some older.
Events Bulletin Board: COMING SOON
