The Heritage Center Museums

The Museum depicts life on the plains during the American pioneer movement & westward expansion periods. Exhibits include Indians, pioneers, railroad, agriculture, Victorian and cowtown eras.

Operated by the Dickinson County Historical Society, the museum consists of three separate museums including: the Historical Museum, the Museum of Independent Telephony, and the Outdoor Museum.
