Local History Museum
The Local History Museum began in 1986 in conjunction with Colfax’s Ole Hickory Days Festival. With support from the Colfax town council and the OHD Festival Committee,our collection of antique furniture, school photographs, trophies, yearbooks & class newspapers, graduation announcements (c.1898-1945), family photographs, ledgers, books & memorabilia is a cherished display, invoking curiosity and remembrance.Surnames of early visionary OHD Committee members and townspeople must be credited as founders of today's C-PTPL Local History Museum - Ferguson, Rusk, Clouser,Hankins, Hoffman, Flowers, Harrison, Padgett, Oswalt, Larsh, Ream, Eaton, and Mullikan. The name for the festival is derived from the 1927 J & S Hickory Manufacturing Company.
