The Stillwater History Museum at the Sheerar is housed in the 1928 building that originally was the First Church of Christ, Scientist. The Stillwater Arts and Humanities Council purchased this building with funding assistance from Leonard and Molly Sheerar in the early 1970s, and the Sheerar Cultural and Heritage Center was formed. On the lower level of the two-story building, the Sheerar Museum of Stillwater History opened in 1974. The mission of the Stillwater History Museum at the Sheerar is to collect the material culture of our community, preserve these materials, make them available for study, and share them through all effective means.
