MISSION
The Mission of The Independence Historical Museum is to preserve the history
and enrich culture of the community, to promote the arts, develop activities that will
enhance education and provide enjoyment to the community and its visitors.
MOTTO
"In great things, unity; in small things, liberty; in all things , charity"
Keep us, O God, from pettiness.
Let us be large in thought, in word, in deed.
Let us be done with faultfinding
And leave off self-seeking.
May we put away all pretense
And meet each other face to face
Without self-pity and without prejudice.
May we never be hasty in judgment and always
Generous
Let us take time for all things,
Make us grow calm, serene, gentle.
Teach us to put into action our better impulses
Straight forward and unafraid.
Grant that we may realize it is the little things that
Create differences, that the big thins of life
We are at one.
And may we strive to touch and to know
The great, common human heart of us all.
And, O Lord God, let us not forget to be kind!
