For the past several years, Lakin second graders have been our special guests on Kansas Day, January 29 . Students learn about the history of Kansas Day and Kearny County including the Santa Fe Trail, the first inhabitants, how the pioneers lived, one-room schools, and early businesses. Last year the museum began a coloring contest in conjunction with the visit, and one student in each home room was awarded the top prize of a special “Kansas Tornado.” It was so successful that the tradition continued in 2019. This year’s winners were: Chloe Stahlecker, Ariel Carrizales and Tomasa Hernandez. All of the pictures colored by the classes will be on display in the museum lobby during the month of February. We encourage you to stop in and check them out. Our hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and there is no admission. All children must be accompanied by an adult.
