The museum is housed in the old courthouse which was built in 1903, and since 1980 has been run as a museum by the Kings Historical Society.
The original courtroom and furnishings are maintained as one of the museum’s outstanding permanent exhibits. Also, the Kings Historical Society has a very active genealogy committee.
The museum is open from 9-4 Mondays to Fridays, from Mid-March to Mid-December, and Mondays to Saturdays in July and August.
