Wyandotte County Historical Society and Museum
Edwin D. Shutt, II, Committee Chair
The Wyandotte County History Society & Museum was organized and is dedicated to the preservation of the history and development of Wyandotte County. The 
Museum has been in operation since 1889. The present location opened in 1965, with additions in 1977 and 1993.
The Museum is preparing for the county's Sesquicentennial in 2009.
The Wyandot Constitution of July 1859 was written near Kaw Point, and led to Kansas' admission
to the union as a free state in 1861. The prize exhibit is a "dug-out"
canoe believed to have pre-dated the Lewis and Clark Expedition
of 1804 by 200 years.
The Museum is located off
I-70 at the Bonner Springs Exit. Turn right or north at the stoplight. Look for the marker and Riverview Avenue. Also, two miles west
of the Legends/Village West on State Avenue, look for direction signs.
Admission is free. Call 913.721.1078 for hours
and other information.
