Grover Museum

Grover Museum

In 1978, Lena Firn Grover willed her and her late husband Louis Grover’s farm to the Shelby County Historical Society, which sold it on November 12, 1979. This money allowed the SCHS to make a bid for the then-defunct B.P.O.E. Lodge on December 17, 1979. On January 10, 1980, the bid was approved and in 1981, the SCHS opened the Grover Museum, named for the late donors. Though the museum opened in 1981, the SCHS was created in 1922 by the social group Club of Clubs.
