Meade County Historical Museum - Meade, Kansas

The Meade County Historical Museum in Meade, Kansas has displays typical to County Historical Museum, but also has several exhibits that are unique to this museum. Reasons to visit the Meade County Historical Museum include a large exhibit of western saddles, horse drawn wagons, and a very informative exhibit devoted to an archeological dig along Crooked Creek, where Native Americans had a community from 1280-1430 A. D.

The Meade County Historical Society also operates the Dalton Gang Hideout, a few blocks away. The Dalton Gang Hideout is open seven days a week and I salute the community of Meade for keeping these attractions open year around.

The Meade County Historical Museum in on Highway 54, just east of the main intersection in downtown Meade, Kansas.

devoted to Dr. Claude Hibbard who was a distant inlaw to me.
