Preserving Arnold's Past. Building its Future.
The Arnold Area Historical Society is bringing history to life—restoring the Cornerstone Museum in downtown Arnold to display local artifacts while creating a digital home for the stories, people, and moments that shaped our community.
Cornerstone Museum
The Cornerstone is more than a building—it’s a commitment to preserving the heritage of Arnold. Located in a historic downtown space on the corner of Hwy 92 and Walnut Street, this future museum will serve as a gathering place where residents and visitors can learn about the people and events that shaped our community.
Once completed, the Cornerstone will feature curated exhibits, local artifacts, and historical displays that bring Arnold’s story to life in meaningful and engaging ways.
