The Loup County Historical Society was established in 1940. The society was responsible for the establishment of the Taylor museum about 1943. The museum is contained in three small buildings: the Pioneer Memorial Log Cabin, the former Taylor Clarion then public library building, and since 2002, the totally-renovated Sunnyside District #23 one-room schoolhouse. Many artifacts are housed in these small quarters.

In 2011, the LCHS Taylor Museum and the Taylor Library partnered to purchase all Taylor Clarion newspaper microfilm dating back to 1893. The films have been a success with visitors looking for historical and genealogical information. You can view
the microfilm at the Taylor Library.

In 2012, the LC Historical Society acquired the old Congregational Church located along HWY 183 as you come through town. The Society has already added several displays to view, many were in storage and now have a home. This is also the same location as the Veterans Memorial.
