I chose to look in Johnson County, Kansas for this week’s Kansas Tuesdays post. I went with the Johnson County Museum of History, Shawnee – https://www.jcprd.com/327/Arts-Heritage-Center. It may have restrictions due to COVID-19. Also known as Johnson County Arts and Heritage Center.
Official website: https://www.jcprd.com/327/Arts-Heritage-Center
Johnson County Museum of History
Hours:
The Johnson County Museum inside the AHC is open:
Monday – Saturday: 9am – 4:30pm
Sunday: Closed*
(*With the exception of theatre and special events.)
Closed Major Holidays
Different address according to some websites; looks like the All Electric House was later moved to Metcalf Avenue; believe they didn’t move the original museum as it would have difficult to move
