Historical Exhibits

Explore our collections and programs dedicated to preserving Sedalia’s rich history and culture. We have a collection of old letters and photographs, clothing, pioneer home items, tools, and newspaper articles. Our archivist and exhibitor is Mary O’Pry.

Exhibit space in the Museum includes two rooms on the main floor, a balcony area and a separate office, research room, and basement for storage.

Exhibits usually change yearly and include displays of whatever the subject matter is and may include antique clothing, local Indian artifacts, tools, kitchen or washroom equipment, or ranching equipment.

Scrapbooks hold photos of local veterans, an account of the 1965 flood that swept away many Sedalia buildings. Sedalia school pupil pictures, a record of the 2002 Hayman fire, event newspaper clippings from 1898 to 1930 and old cookbooks.

Museum files are available to anyone doing research. In addition, the group identifies historic local landmarks and applies for official designation and researches genealogy and court documents such as land records.

Museum personnel are available to help you with your research or can give you advice on where to go for more information. There is no charge for these services.
