Museum-Kansas National Guard
Museum & Art Gallery in Topeka, KS
Within the Museum walls, the weapons, uniforms and other artifacts carried or worn by Kansas Guardsmen from the Civil War to the Gulf War are proudly displayed. These artifacts paint a picture of the Kansas citizen-soldier from the early and bloody days of the birth of our state, to today's Guard mission in a highly volatile and dangerous world. The Museum of the Kansas National Guard became a reality on February 1, 1997, when it opened its doors for the 1st time. It had taken 12 years of work and $700, 000 of donated money.
