Norton County Museum - Norton, Kansas Since 1992, the Norton County Museum in Norton, Kansas has occupied the main floor and basement of a former 1938 WPA Stone Library. The museum has more interesting exhibits than most historical museums, starting with one devoted to the February 18, 1948 Norton County Meteorite. Other notable exhibits include the 1st aviation fatality in Kansas in 1911, the Norton Manufacturing Company which made farm machinery from 1910 - 1967, women's suffrage, and the Norton BB Gun Team which won 38 state championships and 8 international championships. I believe the typical visitor will want 45 minutes to and hour to tour the museum.
