The Rawlins County Museum, established in 1967 in Atwood, Kansas, serves as the headquarters for the Rawlins County Historical Society and showcases the rich history of rural Kansas. Its collection features a variety of items, including recreations of a beauty parlor, post office, and schoolroom, alongside artifacts from notable figures such as former Kansas Governor Mike Hayden.
