Museum

Can’t make it to the museum right now? That is OK, we have you covered with new virtual content! Enjoy a special tour of the All-Electric House, a real 1954 ranch-style house that sits inside the museum. Explore great activities to pair with Little Golden Book stories, just like we read during “Retro Storytime” programming! Hear about the themes and major periods of Johnson County History with our exhibit overview videos.

The Women and the Vote digital exhibit will explore the history of women and elections, voting, and elected positions in Johnson County, Kansas, and the nation. By highlighting over 170 years of women’s history in Kansas, the exhibit shows us where we have been. By exploring the role of women in elected position today, it informs us of the work left to be done. Exhibit highlights the Kansas Equal Suffrage Association, the National American Woman Suffrage Association, the League of Women Voters, and Kansas and Johnson County trailblazing women politicians.
