About the Museum

 Our museum, located in downtown New Franklin, serves as a vital repository of local history for Franklin, New Franklin, Howard County, the Santa Fe Trail and MKT Railway.  We store and maintain archival records used for genealogy research, as well as creating interactive exhibits for visitors. We strive to educate the public about the origins, economic importance, and impact this area had on westward expansion. Our mission is to tell the stories of those who used the trail, sharing their trials and tribulations with current and future generations.
