Museum of the Great Plains

Leoti, KS | Wichita County

If you're looking for diverse history, look no more! Where else will you find the many fossil discoveries of local paleontologist Marion Bonner, witness an exhibit of more than 20 violins, and "meet up: with notorious bank robbers Jake and Ralph Fleagle? If that's not enough, you'll learn about the bloody county seat war between Leoti and Coronado, admire the helmet and jersey of native son and Buffalo Bills football legend Steve Tasker, see an extensive military exhibit, and view cowboy artifacts including brands, saddles, and guns. All of this is inside a former municipal auditorium built by the WPA in 1940.
