While some area residents joke that Dixonville may have the world’s smallest museum, it is proof of a group of people with a very big sense of community.  Located in an authentic early 20th century trading post cabin within the Hamlet of Dixonville this museum was one of the first log buildings in the community.  The original one room store was owned and operated by various residents and was eventually restored by the community’s many volunteers. The building became the Dixonville Museum and opened to the public showcasing many artifacts of the community settlement. The original building and restoration of this museum showcases the strength, determination and cooperation of the pioneers of this region.
