MICHAEL G. OXLEY GOVERNMENT CENTER

The Michael G. Oxley Government Center opened in 2014 and uses technology to bring our rich local history of civic leadership to life. With interactive timelines, touchscreen kiosks, and audio-visual displays, guests of all ages are able to experience this history through a level of connectivity unparalleled among regional museums.

In 2015, Hancock County fourth grade students began utilizing the Center as part of a day-long program to learn the importance of civic responsibility, the branches of government, and the first amendment. The program was designed with a strong focus on state curriculum standards. Through the generosity of Mike & Pat Oxley, the Museum is working to inspire the next generation of civic leaders in Hancock County.
