La Cygne Historical Society and Museum - La Cygne, Kansas The La Cygne Historical Society and Museum in La Cyygne, Kansas does many community programs. When we visited the museum it was currently being used for a quilt show and they made that more interesting than I would have expected. The front room of the museum had many sewing machines set up and they had been hosting school groups which have been creating their own quilt squares. The docents do a good job of pointing out interesting portions of the museum, including exhibits devoted to the Civil War Battle of Mine Creek, which took place nearby on October 25, 1864. One of the other exhibits which stood out for me was devoted to John H. Smith from La Cygne who was a blind watchmaker and piano tuner who was featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not.
