In 2015, Dr. Donald Blakeslee and his team rediscovered Etzanoa near Arkansas City, Etzanoa was once home to roughly 20,000 Native Americans. Since then, the story has grown. Join Dr. Blakeslee as he shares his findings, which may very well rewrite Kansas history. Dr. Blakeslee is a Wichita State University archaeologist, author and sought-after spearker.

Our Impact This Year

  • Allison K.

    A great museum for the whole family! We were traveling from the kc area to Colorado and had to stop due to the interstate being closed. We saw the museum was open and were able to spend about 3 hours there walking around the museum. We have three kids, ages 2, 5, 7 who asked if we could go to it again on the way home. Thanks for allowing us to spend a good chunk of our day there! We will be back!
