The society maintains and operates two facilities. The historical house was the home of Mr. and Mrs. JW Parmley and it is restored and furnished with many of their original belongings. The Parmley House is a unique formed-concrete 1920s home built without wood framing. Exhibits include clothing, furniture and community-related items of the early 20th century.
The society also maintains and operates the restored Parmley Land Office on Main Street. The Parmley Land Office exhibits early 20th century businesses in a 1900 stone building. The society is constructing and developing the Edmunds County Memorial Park adjacent to the Land Office.
