About Pawnee Indian Museum State Historic Site
This state historic site near Republic, Kansas, tells the story of a Pawnee village that stood there in the late 1700s. Visitors can see the floor of a large earth lodge that was left intact after an archaeological dig, and a rare family bundle hangs above the altar. Exhibits cover the people of the Pawnee Nation and their traditions. A nature trail passes depressions left by earth lodges of the Kitkahahki band, and picnic facilities are available. The site was a finalist in the 8 Wonders of Kansas History program.
