The museum holds historical objects and documents from Athens, Sayre, and the area directly surrounding these towns; approximately 14,000 Native American archaeological and ethnographic collections from Turkey, Egypt, Japan, China, the Philippines and Central America; natural history specimens; and an extraordinary rare book collection that includes elaborately decorated bindings. The breadth of the collection is unusual for a museum in a small town and has always been one of the museum's defining characteristics.

Learn about the world through the eyes of people who traveled the globe and presented their home-town museum with splendid examples of Native American, Japanese, Turkish, Chinese, European and Middle Eastern art and cultural objects.
