Enjoy an afternoon of history!  Explore the museum, lab, gallery and the traveling exhibit, A Place to Call Home, from the Smoky Hill Museum with historians and experts who will elaborate and educate on their favorite subjects and exhibits.  This will be a wonderful opportunity to ask questions and learn something new.

A Place to Call Home examines the decisions made for the journey to Kansas from approximately 1850-1900. These stories reveal the collective experiences of challenge, determination, hopes, dreams and new beginnings. Hear from those who risked it all through diary entries. These stories share the decisions immigrants made, the hardships they faced and the hope that brought them to Kansas.

Special Thanks to Scott City Travel & Tourism for sponsoring the exhibit and to Smoky Hill Museum for the development of the exhibition.

Kris Super will be in the Western KS Fossil Lab preparing the rare elasmosaurus and sharing about our recent trip to Cincinnati for the scanning of the best skull found of this specimen.  He will also be opening one of the jackets of the Scheuerman Mammoth.

Jerry Thomas recently unveiled incredible artifacts as well as new original artwork.  He will be in the Gallery for informative and rich discussion of these and more.

Several historians will be in the museum to share inside details to our area and local history with passionate accounts as well as upcoming exhibit expansions.

Plan to join us for this stimulating afternoon.
