OUR MISSION:

THE RENO COUNTY MUSEUM COLLECTS, PRESERVES, INTERPRETS, AND SHARES THE HISTORY OF RENO COUNTY, KANSAS TO INSPIRE AWARENESS AND APPRECIATION OF THE PAST FOR PRESENT AND FUTURE GENERATIONS. Since moving to our current location in 1986, we have expanded our galleries to exhibit more artifacts. Our collection currently includes over 30,000 items. These items cover 150 years of Reno Count

y history. A rich history that includes, grain, railroad, and the salt industries to name a few. The Museum allows you to peer through the bars of an unforgiving, iron, pioneer jail! Be amazed that 8 people really lived in a tiny two-room claim house! Imagine what the ride felt like on the 1929 Indian Ace motorcycle! Exhibits change regularly. Our second floor gallery allows visitors to explore Hutchinson through aerial photographs. Experience all this and more at the Reno County Museum, just one block from Hutchinson’s Main Street. The Oodleplex is an interactive children’s area. We are currently making upgrades to the area! A brand new train has been added that celebrates the legacy of the ATSF/BNSF rail line in Reno County. A Gleaner combine cab has been added to engage children in the grain industry with a company that started right here! Future upgrades will include a new general store, an updated claim house and the Fox Theater! The Oodleplex is recommended for children ages 2-12 and is free though we encourage a $1 donation per child. The Museum has a range of exciting programs throughout the year. Please take a look at the upcoming events. You can also make reservations to book the conference room, museum courtyard, and the Oodleplex. Make your reservation today.
