About Pottawatomie County Museum

The museum occupies a former Santa Fe railway depot that dates to the early 1900s and served trains until 1973. Today the building holds the Pottawatomie County Historical Society's collection, with many artifacts and displays covering the history of the county. Visitors can also ask staff questions by email or phone, and the museum offers ways to donate, volunteer, and join through its membership program.
