Trego County Historical Society Museum - WaKeeney, Kansas
The Trego County Historical Society Museum in WaKeeney,
Kansas was dedicated in June 1975. The museum has grown twice - in
1997 when the Pleasant Valley School was moved to the museum grounds and
in 2015 when a 7,200 square foot addition doubled the gallery space. The
same bequest which paid for the large expansion, permits the museum to
have a paid staff and remain open 6 days a week, year around.
As of our visit to the museum in July 2017, there is still
a lot to do in the addition, but some areas of it were already set up.
Several artists are working on a mural which covers the entire end of the
new gallery
