Kearny County Museum

The Kearny County Historical Museum in Lakin, KS is a fascinating complex that showcases the rich history of the area. With over 20,000 square feet of historical displays, visitors can explore the main museum building and annex, the White House, Columbia School House, Santa Fe Depot, Round Barn, and a machinery building. The museum is known for its extensive collection of items donated by the O Loughlin Family, who played a significant role in the establishment of the community.

Additionally, the museum recently acquired the Texaco Station in Deerfield, a tudor revival-style service station listed on the National Register of Historic Places. While the station is only open to the public during special events, travelers passing through can catch a glimpse of this iconic structure by taking the Deerfield Main Street exit to Old Highway 50. Admission to the museum is free, but donations are greatly appreciated, and guided tours can be arranged with prior scheduling.
