The Boone County History & Culture Center is central Missouri’s premier destination for local history, art, author events and concerts. The center consists of 5,000 square feet of history exhibits, the 3,000 square foot Montminy Art Gallery, five adjacent historic homes in the Village at Boone Junction, a genealogy library, meeting space, and a museum store. Located in Columbia, Missouri (aka “College Town USA”) and halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis on interstate 70, the Boone County History & Culture Center is a must-see stop for tourists who would enjoy discovering the art and history of the midwestern community that is home to the oldest public university west of the Mississippi River, the University of Missouri.
