Celebrate 65 Years of Preserving Weston's Rich History

New Extended Hours in 2025
Wednesday - Saturday, 11am- 4pm Sunday 1pm to 4pm

NO ADMITTANCE FEE!

Since 1960, the Weston Historical Museum has been dedicated to preserving and sharing the powerful story of Weston—a town that has played a pivotal role in local, regional, and national history. From steamboats and westward expansion to military connections at nearby Fort Leavenworth, from the heartache of slavery to the roots of agriculture and patriotism—Weston's story is America's story.

As we mark our 65th anniversary (1960–2025), we invite you to honor this legacy by making a gift to support the Museum’s ongoing work. Thanks to a generous donor, all contributions of $65, $650, or $6,500 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000.

Your donation helps us protect and share the stories of the people who built our town and shaped our nation. Join us in preserving the legacy our founders fought to remember—and ensure Weston’s history continues to inspire future generations.

Be part of history and join the museum today.

From rare Native American moccasins to early physician instruments to vintage clothing displays, the Weston Historical Museum has preserved local artifacts to enjoy today
