The museum features revolving exhibits and interpretive signage about the area's varied history, which includes cattle, cowboys, feed yards, the packing industry, irrigation, sugar beet factories, the big swimming pool, and C.J. 'Buffalo' Jones, who is credited with saving the American bison. Follow a timeline from the Paleo-Indian period (9000 BCE) through the Santa Fe Trail and homesteading eras. The most unusual object here is the world's largest hairball, found by employees at a local meat packing plant in 1993. The 1883 home of William and Luticia Fulton, one of the county's founding families, stands on the museum grounds, as does an 1890 one-room schoolhouse. Free admission, donations appreciated.
