Flat Charlie is Lost… Again!

June, July, and August
Where? That’s for you to find out!

Before school is in session, there is still time for kids to find Flat Charlie, a 12-inch flat replica of Charles Bevington, who built the 1856 Bevington Mansion on the Historical Complex grounds. Each week, Charley will be hidden in a new spot somewhere around Winterset. Clues will be posted on Facebook starting on Monday as to where he can be found. Winners just need to return him to the Complex and pick up a sweet prize!

Museum Season in Full Swing

The Museum, Bevington Mansion, and other historic buildings await your arrival. We look forward to you joining us to browse the museum, take a guided tour through the Bevington Mansion, and visit our other 12 authentic, historic buildings. Plus you may spy a few chickens, peacocks, guineas, ducks, and cats!

Members receive free unlimited visits for themselves and two guests. Please consider a visit when you have family or a family reunion in town to show them a slice of Madison County history. Group rates are available.
