Ottawa
Old Depot Museum
The centerpiece of the collections of the Franklin County Historical Society is the Old Depot Museum. A fancy, limestone "county seat" depot with offices upstairs for the division offices of the railroad, the depot in its present state of preservation is a destination in and of itself. However, it also houses a wonderful collection of artifacts which range from items from the Grand Army of the Republic, the Union Civil War veterans' organization to furniture, clothing and tools collected steadily since 1960. The museum features a permanent display, "Trails, Rails and Prairie Tales," that gives the visitor a chronological tour through Franklin County history from native times to the 20th century. An elaborate, almost 40-year-old HO model train layout recreates train service in Ottawa in 1950. Featured exhibits highlight special events, collections and themes.
Shawnee
ShawneeTown Visitor's Center

Ottawa County Historical Museum
The Ottawa County Museum has a lot more formation about the artifacts than most local historical museums. Many of the artifacts are next to magazine articles or other labels with details of what they were or how they were used. A large corner is filled with exhibits about George Washington Carver, who lived in Minneapolis for several years as a boy. Other exhibits of particular interest include Silvisaurus condrayi, a Kansas dinosaur with many fossils in Ottawa County, and the story of Grace Bedell and the letter she sent to Presidential candidate Abe Lincoln suggesting that he grow a beard.
Parker
Parker Museum
The Parker Museum houses some of the smaller items of the museum's collection. This collection includes over 500 laminated pages of the Parker Message newspaper. A former blacksmith shop, west of the main building houses some of the larger items in the collection. A one-room country school house has been moved to a site east of the main building and restored to it's original condition.
Republic
Pawnee Indian Museum
The Pawnee Nation was the dominant power of the Central Plains for hundreds of years. This museum tells the story of an 1820s Pawnee village. The most remarkable feature is the museum’s centerpiece – the excavated floor of a large 1820s Pawnee earth lodge. Feel the spirits of the past while walking the perimeter of the lodge and view the rare sacred bundle that hangs above the altar. After touring the museum, walk the interpretive trail that winds through the depressions marking other lodges. Learn about the people of the Pawnee Nation, and their stories when you visit the Pawnee Indian Museum.
Ashland
Pioneer-Krier Museum
The Museum concentrates on telling the history of the local area. It presents samples of those things used by pioneer families in daily living in this cattle grazing country. Furnishings range from a country store with its cracker barrel and array of merchandise, to collections of fossils, stones, and barb wire. A rare display of pre-historic animal bones excavated near Ashland is said to compare favorably to ones found in the Smithsonian Institution. Furnishings used in schools, banks, churches, hospitals, funeral parlors, real estate shops, harness shops, barber shops, and different rooms of homes are displayed.
Lacrosse
Post Rock Museum
Limestone fenceposts were the early homesteader's answer to the shortage of wooden fenceposts on the nearly treeless prairies of north central Kansas. Throughout the 1870's and 1880's fenceposts cost 25 cents each (delivered to the fence line). Each 5-6 foot post weighed about 250-450 pounds. Thousands of posts still stand throughout the area. In addition to its use in fences, the attractive striped stone was used in constructing hundreds of homes, schools, churches, and bridges, giving the towns of post rock country a distinctive look.
The exhibits of the Post Rock Museum describe:Post rock limestone and its geology. The tools and technology used to quarry it. The uses of post rock. Stories about post rock.
