Powers Museum Gift Shop

Offering Unique Items for History Lovers

Powers Museum Gift Shop

The Powers Museum Shop stocks books, gift items, family tree charts and a variety of reproduction items such as holiday goods, greeting cards, old-fashioned postcards, Missouri educational items and much, much more. Most of our merchandise can not be found elsewhere in Carthage and much of it is purchased from specialty companies who only supply museums and historical sites.

Other specialties offered include Route 66 books  and souvenirs, Women's History Month items,    non-fiction books as well as children's coloring books and paper dolls.

The museum offers mail order items through this web site Shop Selections, too. Also, occasional "friends" online sales and on-site silent auctions fundraisers are scheduled for the museum. Currently culled reference library books are being offered on Amazon.com.  Our annual Rummage Sale is scheduled for May 5th this year along with the Master Gardener Annual Plant Sale. To sign up for the museum's email list for notices of these special opportunities, please click here or follow us on Facebook (Powers Museum of Carthage).
