proud history of our town. Below are just a few of the different museum displays.
Better yet, come on down and join us on a Sunday afternoon! |

Murdock and Elmwood established a cooperative activity partnership the
1988-1989 school year, where teams alternated uniform colors and
mascots. The two districts fully consolidated into the
Elmwood-Murdock school district in the 1990-1991 school year. |

Several of Murdock's citizens have proudly
served their country in various branches of the military. This
display centers on WWII, and features the Navy uniform of Burt Amgwert,
who served 72 hrs. straight during and after the attack on Pearl Harbor,

Neitzel and his hardware store were one of the backbones of early
Murdock. He lived in the hardware store until he built his house
in 1905. |
