Watkins Museum of History

The Watkins Museum of History will complete the development and installation of the final phase of its core exhibit areas. Project activities will include research, exhibit content development, and script writing and editing. The museum will engage external contractors to prepared detailed designs, fabricate interactive elements, and install the exhibits. The exhibits will explore how economic development, communications, and entertainment in Lawrence, Kansas, from the late 1800s to the early 2000s have shaped the present day community. The project will be designed to support multiple learning styles for rural and urban residents of the region, heritage tourists, and students from kindergarten to university level.
