night at the museum: White gloves edition

Take an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at what makes a museum so special! Pull on a pair of white gloves (provided by KOM) for the opportunity to get up close and personal with our historic collections! This could include a Civil War musket or a 1928 murder weapon, William Allen White's armchair or the dainty slippers of the Kaffir Corn Queen -- and many more artifacts from Butler County's fascinating past! You'll also hear about how we use and care for our collections, and learn about the evolution of museums from ancient times to the modern day.
Tickets are $15 for KOM members, $25 for the general public. Please come join us for a night of history, wine, cheese and FUN!
