The octagon shaped building, which was formerly the Congregational Church, is now the home of the Naponee Historical Society holdings. This building is on the National Historic Register. All proceeds go to the non-profit Naponee Historical Society to help keep the museum's building in repairs, utilities, etc.
All work is done by volunteers.
This little town is pleasantly located on the west bank of Turkey Creek, in the Republican Valley, not far from the river. The creek affords an excellent water-power, which is utilized for mill purposes. The business houses are mainly on two streets, one fronting toward the railroad, the other extending north and south, with the buildings fronting toward the creek. From each of these two streets, the surface of the land rises toward the northwest, forming a quite steep hillside. Though there has been a town here but a few years, its history may be said to extend back to the time of the formation of a settlement here, late in the year 1870.
