The Newton County Historical Park & Museum is located in historic downtown Neosho, the county seat of Newton County, Missouri. It can be found at the corner of Washington & McCord Streets, a block north of the northeast corner of the square.
The park features an authentic 1840's log cabin, a restored 1870's rural schoolhouse, and our 1890's Newton County Sheriff's home - which also served as the sheriff's office and the county jail. This historic home has served as the Newton County's historical museum since the 1950's.
