Heritage Hall Museum Step back in time and uncover the spirit of Southeast Kansas at the Heritage Hall Museum in Downtown Frontenac.

Experience exhibits that bring to life this bustling coal town filled with hope, hardship, and a colorful history that includes first generation immigrants, bootlegging, w**e making, and even whispers of mafia ties. Experience stepping up to the train depot like the first European immigrants, greeted by a bustling coal town filled with hope and hardship. Wander through exhibits that bring Frontenac’s past to life - its colorful history that includes bootlegging, w**e making, and even whispers (yells?) of mafia ties. Feel the grit of deep shaft mining as you explore a room designed to feel like a coal seam, crawl space and all. Discover the resilience of the Amazon Army—courageous women who marched to protect their families—and learn about the tragic 1888 mining disaster. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious, Heritage Hall Museum invites you to experience the true story of a town shaped by grit, resilience, and community spirit.

Did you know the first version of Heritage Hall was in the side room of a local bar? It was! Pictured here is our first try at a town history exhibit in 2016. We started out with just a few dozen photos and artifacts!

Through the dedication of volunteers, and the support of the community we are now a full interactive museum. Located in the rear of the Frontenac Public Library, Heritage Hall is completely free to visit! Come learn about the unique (and colorful) history of Frontenac, KS.
