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.
