GREENSBURG, Kan. (AP) Greensburg will reach another milestone in its rebuilding from a 2007 tornado when it opens a county historical museum next week.
The Kiowa County Historical Museum is scheduled to open Tuesday in a building that will also house the Kiowa County Library and the Media Center.
The county’s Historical Society began planning the museum soon after the May 4, 2007, tornado leveled most of Greensburg, including wiping out most of the museum’s collection.
The Dodge City Daily Globe reports that the museum features exhibits involving buffalo that once roamed the plains, the coming of stagecoaches and railroads and the settling of towns in Kiowa County.
It features information and artifacts from Greensburg, Haviland and Mullinville, and other Kiowa County communities.
Admission will be free during the first week.
