It offers a collection of items dating back to 1541, when Don Francisco Vasquez de Coronado and 36 soldiers entered what is now Southwest Kansas, searching for the fabled "Seven Cities of Gold." An eight-foot bronze statue of Coronado points the way to the museum from US Highway 54. The museum is housed in a charming home built in 1918 and moved from its original location at 510 N. Lincoln to the present site. It still retains the warmth and charm it held as a family home. The solid light oak paneling banisters and flooring would be difficult to duplicate today. Featured at the museum is a collection of items used in the settlement of the Kansas Territory during its Wild West days, including weapons, an antique organ, quilts, and home furnishings. Also included in this exhibit is a model re-creation of early Seward County. In addition to this, there is an exhibit that pays tribute to the culture of the Native American Indians who lived on the Kansas land long before Coronado set foot here. Traveling exhibits that feature artifacts of other museums and collectors are also a major part of the Seward County Historical Museum. On the museum grounds are found native tamarack, sand hill plums, cottonwood trees and wild roses. |
