History & Museums
Our Slice of History
From pioneering inventors to agricultural roots, Chillicothe’s history is anything but ordinary — and we’re proud to share it. Stroll through town and you’ll spot larger-than-life murals telling our story in vivid color. Step inside local museums like the Grand River Historical Society Museum, where artifacts and exhibits bring the past to life.
Our monuments, trails, and historic architecture aren’t just windows into Missouri’s past — they’re reminders of the big ideas and bold people who helped make Chillicothe the place it is today: authentic, resilient, and still making history.
