Museum

About the museum:

The museum is located in the Fairchild/Knox milk parlor.  The grand opening was held on June 14, 2003 during the annual Tonganoxie Days.  Museum displays depict the Delaware Indians, the town’s beginning, family life, leisure, schools, dairy farming, farming, businesses, government and death. The collection is always growing and new exhibits are always being displayed.
