If you’ve never been to the Smoky Hill Museum (or it’s been a while), our main exhibit is calling your name. “Crossroads of the Heartland” is all about this place we call home: the Smoky Hills region, and how it became a meeting point for nature, people, and history over thousands of years. You’ll see stories of early settlers, trading paths, wildlife, and how this region became a hub for business, travel, and culture. There’s something to spark curiosity for all ages. ✨ Come explore the roots of the heartland, right here in downtown Salina. Plan your visit and learn more at smokyhillmuseum.org (fb)

Have you ever stopped to think about what WWII looked like right here in Kansas? 👀 On Thursday, June 5 at 5:30 pm, come join us at the Museum, or tune in from home, for our next First Thursday talk: “World WAr II: Close to Home” with Dr. Andrew Orr. He shares how World War II infiltrated so much of “normal” American life. This event is free and open to all. 💻 Want to join online?
