Pierce City's museum survived the 2003 tornado!
HBW Museum in Pierce City Survived!
The museum building 'weathered' the May 4, 2003, tornado. It became a place to gather for social events and meetings in the year of recovery and rebuilding that followed.
As of June 2006, building renovations were completed to the extent that the museum had its official opening on June 3, 2006!
The museum is to be open to the public most Saturdays from 1-4 p.m. As always, the museum continues to be open for viewing by appointment. Contact Pierce City Hall to arrange a tour at (417) 476-2323.
