The Coffey County Historical Society & Museum is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization committed to preserving Coffey County history for this and future generations. Through 14,000 sq ft of display space, the Coffey County Museum illustrates the past and present of Coffey County, Kansas. Visitors can explore pioneer exhibits, view a large antique doll collection, learn about Coffey County veterans, sit in a restored 1896 one-room schoolhouse, research ancestors and much more.
In 1965, a dedicated group of Coffey County residents came together to promote their historical heritage, leading to the establishment of the Coffey County Historical Society and Museum. Initially, the museum was located in a single showcase within the courthouse lobby. In 1974, it transitioned to a building that was generously donated and staffed by committed volunteers. The current facility was constructed in 1984, and subsequent expansions have included the addition of the Pioneer Gallery, Patchen Hall, and Cochran Gallery. Moreover, significant artifacts, such as the Rural Dale Schoolhouse and the Bethel Church, were relocated to the museum grounds. Today, the Coffey County Museum features over 14,000 square feet of display space.
