In a tiny Kansas town where the Little Miss Moonshine pageant is taken very seriously, longtime rivals Etta Lou Hatfield and Lula May McCoy are locked in a fierce battle for a historic tenth crown. Their obsession pulls in family members, sparks outrageous schemes, and turns rehearsals into full-blown showdowns. But when the pageant’s rules, and secrets, are flipped upside down, an unexpected contestant takes center stage.

Then following intermission, enjoy our Billy Joel Jukebox Revue!

Since 1939, the Historical Museum has been actively collecting and preserving artifacts central to telling our local history’s stories. These artifacts are acquired in a number of ways, including purchases from local thrift shops.

Thrift Finds in the Museum Collection features objects fortunately discovered by Museum staff at local thrift stores. These items, no longer of use to their original owner, can help us to tell the story of our community.

The newest additions in the series include a 1973 leisure suit from Henry's Department Store and a circa 1955 Toni Todd sundress, both found locally at Goodwill (21st & Amidon).

Some notable finds still on view include designs by Halston and Victor Costa, a Nehru jacket retailed by Henry’s department store, and a 1950s Shocker Lounge bowling shirt.

Produced by the Museum, this exhibition was made possible through funding from Stev Overstreet, Alice Smith, the family of Kenneth E Gerhardt, and Goodwill Industries of Kansas

The urge to create or possess a visual representation of a specific person – a portrait – is present throughout history. Portraits are created for many reasons: from sentimental to celebratory, for public or private viewing, as memorials, and as icons. .

Until the introduction of photography in the 1840s, portraits were rendered by artists in both two and three-dimensional mediums such as paintings and sculptures.

The Museum’s collection includes a variety of portraits, most of which depict local people. In this exhibition, we learn of portraiture and the people portrayed.
