History

The Association was first founded in 1947, and was chartered in 1955. In 1965, the Association's archives began being stored in a Baptist church in Richville. The Silas Wright Museum was opened in 1978 and the archives were moved there. The Association was accredited by the American Alliance of Museums in 1982.[5]
