Andover Historical Museum - Andover, Kansas Andover Historical Museum in Andover, Kansas strives to generate community pride and educate the members of the community about its history. The museum occupies a former library and is primarily one large gallery with a Grain King wagon as the center piece of the room. My favorite item in the museum is the Railroad Conductor, "Andy" from Andover, a life size sculpture by multimedia aritst, Gino Salerno. Covid and the death of several museum board members have left the Andover Historical Museum with a shortage of volunteers. As a result, other than one volunteer who is coming in to open the museum regularly on Monday mornings. Call (316) 796-4455 to confirm that time and any others, or to schedule and appointment There is a small old home which appears to have been moved to a spot behind the museum, with a sign saying 1870's Gilmore House. You can't see into the building and it was locked up. A cement pad next to the house has a custom vehicle from the 1960s or 70s, but no label or sign.
