The Exhibit Hall is Open!

As of September 17th, 2016, we have opened the doors to the Exhibit Hall. The space is divided up into seven themed zones.

Prairie Pathways – trails and transportation

Grassland Empire – ranching and livestock

Beyond the Dust Bowl – dryland farming

Just Add Water – irrigated farming

Taking Care of Business – businesses of the High Plains

Be it Ever so Humble... – domestic and home life

Eye of the Artist – High Plains art gallery

Please select the page for more information on what each zone offers. Upon paying admission, you will be given a set of earbuds to listen to the audio components which can be found on some of the signs. We recommend that visitors plan to spend at least one to three hours in the Exhibit Hall.
