Grant County Museum - Ulysses, Kansas The Grant County Adobe Museum in Ulysses, Kansas was built in 1938 as a county shop. It opened as a county historical museum in 1978. The museum features historical artifacts and exhibits that tell the story of life on the High Plains. The visual story is set into scenes with dimensional murals and backdrops enhancing the exhibits. The Grant County Adobe Museum's permanent collection includes High Plains Native American artifacts, Santa Fe Trail memorabilia, as well as artifacts from old and new Ulysses. Dimensional murals and backdrops help depict an Indian Encampment on the banks of the Cimarron, a freight wagon loaded with trade goods, and a sod house, There are also other buildings, including the 120 year old Hotel Edwards, but they have been locked up both time that I have visited the museum.
