Kansas Museum of History - Tours
Kansas Museum of History - We are sad to miss out on in-person field trips while the museum gallery is closed for renovations. However, we have been busy creating fun, educational materials to fill the void. Whether you are a parent looking for additional online learning, or a teacher hoping to expand your curriculum, we offer a variety of formats to take learning to the next level on our Classroom Materials page. Click here for a list of our education resources arranged by grade level.
Rural School Days - Note that we do offer our Rural School Days in-person program Tuesdays through Fridays. This four-hour program is geared to fourth and fifth graders and is set in our 1920s one-room school. Email us for additional information at KSHS.Education@KS.gov.

Plans are to reopen the museum in late 2024 with brand new exhibits and interactives. Check back for new and exciting museum tours!
Before the museum closed, staff created a few video tours for visitors to enjoy. The videos feature both the Kansas Museum of History and the State Capitol. Additional videos can be found on the Kansas Historical Society and Kansas Historical Society Education YouTube channels.
