The Fick Fossil and History Museum in Oakley, Kansas shares a building with the Oakley community library. The Fick Museum is free (donations) and has a number of interesting large dinosaur fossils from Kansas, many old tools, mineral specimens, and shell & mineral folk art. Most of the exhibits have more info about who contributed them then about the exhibits. It looks as if every one in Oakley contributed something. The Fick Museum's small gift shop offers rocks, minerals, fossils, books, and jewelry. Prices in the gift shop start at less than a quarter.
Also visit Keystone Gallery, a fun place with additional fossils and souvenirs, located 20 miles south of town near Monument Rocks.
