Hemphill County men and women have contributed to every American war effort since the county was settled. Founding fathers such as George Washington "Cap" Arrington fought in the Civil War, and Canadian has men and women in uniform today, in the Middle East. The River Valley Pioneer Museum has an exhibit dedicated to war and military veterans from Canadian and Hemphill County, along with various artifacts that include uniforms and items retrieved from war zones such as Nazi Germany.

The museum is currently developing a project that will record the oral histories of living veterans and include them, as well as relevant artifacts, as a museum exhibit.
