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 the early 1990, the Historical Society built the current museum, a replica of Wamego’s first city hall building.

Noyes Home is Here for Families: The Noyes Home helps to heal whole families by caring for children and giving parents the time and support they need to solve life’s challenges. Some families are facing emergencies like homelessness or serious illness of a parent; others have children who are awaiting a foster placement, or children who are unable to perform successfully at home and school and need a fresh start.
