Formerly a county shop completed in 1938 by the WPA, this adobe building is now home to an innovative museum that invites you to experience this area's history. Of primary interest are the photos, personal accounts, and artifacts examining the 1930s'the challenges and devastation of the Dust Bowl juxtaposed with the boom of the developing gas industry (8 Wonders of Kansas History). A sod house and an Indian encampment relate stories of the region's pioneers and American Indians, and the 1950s display is pure fun. The Historic Adobe Museum is a certified interpretive visitor center for the Santa Fe National Historic Trail.
