Butler County History Center & Kansas Oil Museum |
|
 |
This outstanding museum presents the fascinating history which makes El Dorado unique. The permanent exhibit, "Glory of the Hills", depicts the Flint Hills as a land of possibilities and should be the first stop for anyone touring The Hills. Historic photographs and artifacts explore the lives of early inhabitants, settlers and farmers and ranchers who established the county's agricultural identity and grazed their huge cattle herds on the rich bluestem grasses. Farming and ranching were essential to the economy, but it was oil that brought national attention to El Dorado. Located on ten acres, this modern museum offers the visitor the opportunity to walk the street of a 1920's oil boom town and view full-size oil field equipment of the early boom days in El Dorado. The museum hosts a lively schedule of special events throughout the year, an interesting gift shop of Kansas gifts and history books, and a 4,000 volume research and genealogy library.
Hours: May 1 to Sept. 30 - Mon. - Sat. 9am - 5pm

Weekend pioneers relive experiences of those who joined the great Westward Movement in the mid-19th Century."My children and I have just returned from one of the most memorable and enjoyable experiences we have ever had. A trip on the Flint Hills Overland Wagon Train. From the initial meeting to the return, we have nothing but praise for the organization, good food, entertainment and good company we found. You can be assured we will tell everyone we know that this trip is one not to have missed." - Patricia Joseph, Topeka, Kansas. |
