Established by the university in 1925 and housed in various locations on campus, the Horner Museum officially closed to the public in 1995 due to budget cutbacks resulting from the passage of Measure 5 in 1990. Currently, the holdings of the former Horner Museum are in the process of being transferred to the Benton County Historical Society. Pete Smith served on the Board of Directors for the Friends of Horner Museum.
