The Mission of the Floyd County Historical Society is to keep alive an active interest in Floyd County history by collecting, preserving, and interpreting materials relating to Floyd County.

The Floyd County Historical Society was organized by the Floyd County Federation of Women’s Clubs and officially founded on October 29, 1953. The next year, the Society adopted their Constitution, Bylaws, and Articles of Incorporation. The Floyd County Museum opened in the old Legel’s Drug Store in 1963. In 1979, the Society acquired and relocated to the original Dr. Salsbury Laboratory and Administrative Building. In 1999, a new, climate controlled, exhibit area was added to the building to make room for the display of historic tractors, implements, and tools.
