When most guests cross the Finney County Museum’s threshold, they naturally expect to see exhibits, and they’re rarely disappointed. Our three display galleries feature artifacts and information that tell a variety of stories about the past.
In fact, our main gallery includes sections with titles such as “Buffalo Jones, Last of the Plainsmen,” “My Place in Time,” “The Big Pool,” “Finney County Agriculture,” “Celebrate Kansas,” and “Take Stock in Finney County.” Viewers will also discover a 19th Century kitchen; images of veterans and settlers; and the Front Door Gallery, a space where we rotate displays up to six times every year.
