“Our obsession with the past will build the future”
The Pulaski County Historical Society and Museum was organized March 27, 1969. The chairman for this meeting was Mabel Mottaz.

In 1970, a Historical Marker was erected by the Society at the Old Stagecoach Stop and Hotel on the square in Waynesville. Another marker was placed at the site of the Old Fort on Fort Street in Waynesville. In 1982 the first volume of “History Pulaski County Missouri” was published. Volume II followed in 1987 and a third volume was published in 2005. These books, and other resource books about Pulaski County, Missouri, are available for purchase at the museum and online atwww.visitpulaskicounty.org The society operates a museum located in the 1903 Pulaski County Courthouse, which is one of three courthouses located on Historic Route 66 in Missouri.

Couldn't find it! Circled several times and couldn't! 5/11/22
You can take a tour of the historic 1903 Courthouse Museum on Saturdays 10am-4pm, which doesn't make it super convenient for roadtrippers who don't really travel on a set schedule. Also, it's only open from April through September. But, the tour includes a guide who walks you through various historic rooms, so it's really like stepping back in time. Recommended if you plan on spending your Saturday in the area.
