Benson Historical Museum, Howard – Kansas Tuesdays June 23, 2020

I decided to focus on Howard, Kansas for this week’s Kansas Tuesdays post. It’s in Elk County. I think I have been to Howard at least once in the mid-1980s. A quick check found Benson Historical Museum: https://www.travelks.com/listing/benson-historical-museum/901/.  There are six buildings in the complex. Appears to be in two different locations although I don’t see an address for the second location – http://howardbensonmuseum.com/index.php/gallery/. Took a lot longer than I thought it would.
