The Blue Rapids Historical Museum was established in 2007 to honor and remember the people, businesses and history of the only Blue Rapids in America.  While the Museum is building up their permanent collection of items, they are borrowing items to make interesting exhibits. 

 

Planned quarterly exhibits for 2013 are:

·        January thru March:  "BR Believe It or Not"

·        May to Sept.:   “Native Americans”

·        September thru December:  "Service Clubs”

·        Special exhibit in the new museum addition:  Spring 2013 – “The Way We Worked” – Tom Parker photos of the interiors of Blue Rapids’ businesses – partially funded by Kansas Humanities.

 

The museum is open Saturday 9:00-12:00 at #36 Public Square, on the Round Town Square in Blue Rapids.  We are happy to open up for family reunions, group meetings and whenever you are passing through.
