El Quartelejo Museum

The theme of the El Quartelejo Museum is a developing story line, one which traces the history of this region of western Kansas through the stories told by the fossil discoveries on exhibit to present day Scott County information. Visitors can choose to either follow the story line, or simply browse in areas which are of interest to them. Separate displays are set up in several different rooms, and rotating exhibits change often. Appeal for both adults and children has been achieved. Exhibits allow youngsters to touch and even “dig” for their own fossils. Two distinct areas of the museum house local Indian & Pioneer History, while a third room has antique farm machinery, along with horse-drawn buggies from the early 1900s. A major addendum to the facility occurred in 2010: The Jerry Thomas Gallery & Collection, containing the work of nationally recognized Wildlife and Western Artist/Historian, Jerry Thomas, as well as an extensive collection of Native American and Cavalry artifacts.

Battle Canyon

Reviewed By 369jerryp - Topeka, United States

This gives the 3D view of the landscape of every battle scene from the great plains. The cave where the women and children stayed during the battle, the Cheyenne gun hides, the escape route and all in one great vista , well worth the 1/2 hour to see from the monument or there are paths to enter and walk the site for 2 hours.

Stopped at the gallery on a whim while we were at the monument rocks. The owner was very friendly and nice and seemed very knowledgeable about the area and fossils as well as rock formations. If they are open it is a definite visit spot.
