Pioneer-Krier Museum

Ashland, KS | Clark County

The feature exhibit focuses on Harold Krier, an Ashland native and an internationally known precision aerobatic pilot who wowed crowds with his daring feats during the 1950s and 1960s. A colorful museum display includes one of his stunt planes, many photographs, memorabilia, and show bills. Krier died in a parachute accident in 1971 and is buried in Highland Cemetery. Other exhibits feature local pioneers and area notables such as opera singer Rodney Hardesty, world-record miler Wes Santee, and Notre Dame football coach and athletic director Jesse Clair Harper. Call for appointment for weekends and other times.
