Rarely displayed artifacts—brought out from the archives!
Join us for a fascinating look at the history and archaeological discoveries of the 17 Mile House. Built in the mid-1800s as a rest stop for pioneers traveling the Smoky Hill-Cherokee Trail, the property later became a dairy and cattle ranch before its preservation as a heritage park.
Local archaeologist Dr. Gordon Tucker will share insights from archival research, surveys, geophysical studies, and excavations that reveal stories spanning thousands of years—from Indigenous peoples to early settlers.
