The Old Rugged Cross Historical Society Museum

The Old Rugged Cross Historical Museum is an outgrowth of a memorial cross erected and dedicated on September 14, 1954, north of Reed City at the home of Rev. and Mrs. George Bennard. Rev Bennard was the author of world-renowned hymn, "The Old Rugged Cross," written in 1913. The museum contains mementos and relics not only from the Bennard home, but also from the original Osceola County Historical Museum. Open May 1 - Sept. 30 from Tuesday-Sunday 1 to 4 pm. Closed Mondays and Holidays. Free admission. Group and private tours by appointment all year round.
