There is some more history to experience in this very historic state, and that is, The Kansas Museum of History. It presents Kansas history from the prehistoric to modern eras in 30,000 square feet of exhibits. The galleries feature a train (Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe locomotive with two cars), full-sized tepee in the Southern Cheyenne style, a 1950s diner, and many other large features. Major topics covered in the main gallery include Native American tribal history, westward movement on the Oregon and Santa Fe trails, early settlers, the Bleeding Kansas and Civil War eras, and Populism at the turn of the 20th century.
