    The Grover Museum does a remarkable job of preserving artifacts and stories from Shelby County. My…read morefavorite exhibit includes the mock stores that showcase 100+ year old goods and furniture from the local barbershop, drugstore, butcher shop, telephone operators and more. Visitors can walk through quickly with kids and talk about technology and people of the past. I stopped by the museum to get information about the local courthouse. I was greeted by Sarah Richardt, the new curator of the museum. Sarah told me what I could find in the museum and offered to arrange for me to meet with a local judge to discuss the courthouse. Wow! (The people in Shelby county are the nicest.) A timeline exhibit, archives the names and dates for the building and history of Shelbyville and the county. I was able to find information I needed here. The railroad room has a working toy train and stories about the local railroad. Downstairs, historical information about local industry and technology are described. There is a small gift shop at the front of the museum. The building is old with stairs, but there is a rear entrance near an elevator for wheelchairs and strollers. The museum hosts a summer camp and other activities throughout the year. There are play/learning areas set up throughout the facility Admission is free to the museum and donations accepted. There is free street parking outside. Public restrooms are available. Grover Museum is one of the best small town museums that I have visited.

    A GREAT small-town museum! As others mentioned, the "Streets of Old Shelby" exhibit is an…read moreinteresting condensed exhibit of a small town from the late 1800s/early 1900s. They have recently remodeled the lower level sections to focus on a photography studio from many years ago and see the town through their lens (literally). They also created a new interactive exhibit that includes both the natural history of the area and the manufacturing history. Both areas of focus pull in personal stories and connections as you learn and discover. The sister city exhibit that educates about their sister city of Shizuoka, Japan is equally insightful with statistics and an interactive chance to make your own block print. The upstairs features interactive components while educating on the history of Shelbyville's downtown square and how it has changed through time. The museum is FREE and supported by donations so please contribute if you enjoyed your time! An interesting stop off the main road of sites. A 2-3 hour visit would allow you to see most exhibits but one could spend longer.
