A visit to this museum is an experience into the past. You
will enter a Victorian home built in 1867. It features elaborate
handcrafted woodwork throughout the house, beautiful stained
glass windows and elegant antiques from the Victorian age
era to the early 20th century.
The museum gift shop allows the visitor to browse through
a variety of Leavenworth and Kansas memorabilia and books
on the history of Leavenworth, Kansas. A variety of Victorian
style gifts can be found also.
The museum is only one of the activities of the historical
society. The Leavenworth
County Historical Society was founded in 1954 to research
and preserve an accurate history on the area, to encourage
pride in the achievements of Leavenworth pioneers, and to
stimulate interest in local history.

April, daily 1 - 4:30 p.m. Closed in January and major holidays.
