Something Old Something New Museum - Kensington, Kansas Something Old, Something New is a new museum located nest to Bow Creek Kennels in Kensington, Kansas. Sharon Rust collected vintage wedding finery through the decades for 25 years before building the museum in 2012. She invites folks to make an appointment or just drop in. While wedding gowns aren't a subject which particularly interests me, but I could totally appreciate how well the museum is set up, the information about the changes in wedding clothes over the years and how nice the displays look. The collection goes back to the early 1900s and the dresses are organized by the decade. Some items are for sale, both old and new. There is no admission charge, but if folks leave a donation, it goes to the women's group at Sharon's church. Of course, Sharon's wedding dress (along with photos from the wedding) is one of those on display.
