Very lucky to stumble upon the museum during business hours. Try to allow enough time for the cemetary and connected buildings (like schoolhouse and barn), about 45 minutes total. Also plan to check out other Civil War sites in the area: like Osawatomie and Mine Creek. Jessica was friendly and knowledgeable, just wish the museum promoted lesser known facts (What happened to survivors?). We especially appreciated that historical artifacts were in chronological order. Don't miss the gift shop, there's something for everyone! Please remember to leave a donation, may we suggest $5 per person. These small towns take it upon themselves to preserve the history of our great nation, it's the least we can do! God bless the USA.
