Welcome to the BC Historical Society Web Site

It is the mission of the Buffalo Center Historical Society to educate, preserve and promote understanding of the cultural, social and human history of Buffalo Center and surrounding areas. Welcome to our website!

The North Iowa Community School 7th graders are hosting a Museum Opening Night Gala at the Heritage Museum (in the new Heritage Town Center in BC) on Tuesday, January 10th, 2012, from 7-8:30pm. The museum will have exhibits that we researched for, planned, and set up. The 7th graders, with their teacher, Amanda Smith, have worked really hard on the museum exhibits. Some examples that our exhibits will be about are fires, the Creamery, the Iowa Theatre, the Sale Barn, boys and girls basketball tournaments, prom, the old A&W, and many more. Students will be at the open house to answer questions and will be serving light refreshments. (Gala snow date: Jan 16) We hope to see you all there!
