The Wamego Historical Museum was organized in 1973. The museum and the Prairie Town Village are located in Wamego’s beautiful 20-acre city park. In 1973, the first museum opened in the old Union Pacific Railroad stone workshed that was built in 1866. The Prairie Town Village started in the 1980s. In the early 1990, the Historical Society built the current museum, a replica of Wamego’s first city hall building.
