Community Partnership: The McCleary Museum

At the McCleary Hotel, we believe that hospitality extends beyond our walls. As a historic hotel rooted in this town’s story, we see ourselves as part of a living community—one shaped by shared history, collective memory, and ongoing civic life.

For this reason, we are proud to recognize the McCleary Museum and McCleary Historical Society as a valued community partner.

A Shared Commitment to Local History

The McCleary Museum plays a vital role in preserving, interpreting, and sharing the history of McCleary and the surrounding region. Through exhibits, archives, educational programming, and community events, the museum helps keep local stories alive for residents and visitors alike.

As a building listed on the state and national historic registers, the McCleary Hotel shares this commitment to stewardship and preservation. Our partnership with the McCleary Museum reflects a shared belief that historic places are not static—they are active spaces for learning, gathering, and connection.

Supporting Community Engagement

Together, the McCleary Hotel and the McCleary Museum contribute to a more connected and engaged community by:

  • Encouraging visitors to explore McCleary’s history beyond the hotel
  • Supporting educational and cultural programming
  • Creating opportunities for residents and guests to gather around shared stories
  • Highlighting local heritage as a living part of the town’s identity

We often encourage guests to visit the museum during their stay as a way to deepen their understanding of the place they are visiting.

Coordinating Events with Care

The McCleary Museum and the McCleary Hotel serve complementary roles as gathering spaces within the community.

In some cases, events may naturally span both venues—for example:

  • A lecture, exhibit opening, or cultural program hosted at the museum, paired with lodging or dining at the hotel
  • Visiting speakers, historians, artists, or educators staying at the hotel while presenting programs at the museum
  • Community events that use each space for what it does best

While each organization operates independently, we value clear communication and thoughtful coordination when events involve both spaces.

Encouraging Responsible Tourism

We believe responsible tourism includes learning where you are.

By highlighting the McCleary Museum as a partner organization, we hope to:

  • Encourage respectful engagement with local history
  • Support community institutions through visitation and donations
  • Foster pride in McCleary’s past and present
  • Create more meaningful experiences for guests

Visit the McCleary Museum

The McCleary Museum is located just a short distance from the McCleary Hotel and is typically open on weekends, with additional visits available by appointment.

We encourage guests to check current hours and programming directly with the museum and to consider supporting their work through donations or membership.


The McCleary Hotel is grateful for the work of the McCleary Museum and McCleary Historical Society and is proud to stand alongside them in preserving and celebrating the history of this town.
