Byron Museum of hHistory
Welcome to the Byron Museum
The Lucius Read House, part of the Byron Museum complex

The Byron Museum of History is dedicated to preserving the Byron area’s rich history through exhibits, programs, and artifact preservation.

The Museum Complex consists of a large Exhibit Hall, the historic Read House, which was on the Underground Railroad and is a listed site on the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom, and an adjoining Gallery. Built in 1843 for the Read family by Pardon Kimball, the house was a focal point in early Byron.

Come visit us today! Our Letterbox Scavenger Hunt is now ready for visitors of any age. Kids can enjoy a scavenger hunt, while adults can browse the many exhibits we have to offer.
