Wabaunsee County Historical Society Museum, Alma

Great little museum of local history, covering Wabaunsee County from its frontier days. Lots and lots of exhibits spread out through the building. When I visited in July 2022, the museum was undergoing some minor renovations in part of the building. Not sure if that might have affected the layout (the part with various historic washing machines seem to be rather crowded together, preventing a really good look). But it is still a fascinating look at Kansas history. I definitely plan on returning in a few months after the renovations are done.

We had a really fun time visiting the Waban easy County Museum. We stopped in to find some information on the scenic byway. We didn't end up finding much specific information on the scenic byway but we did see amazing amount of history on the local area, the flint-knapping regions and all the arrowheads that were made, the local quilting and cross stitching group, and we felt like a member of the community when we left the museum. The staff there was really nice and welcoming. Retrospectively we probably would have rather spent an extra hour at the Museum versus driving on the scenic byway which ended up being very beautiful but not super interesting.
