The Atchison County Historical Society Museum is located inside the Santa Fe Depot. At the museum, visitors trace the history of this historic region of Kansas through exhibits highlighting the transition of Atchison from just a bend of the Missouri River into a bustling commercial center for the railroads, wagon trains bound for the West, and steamboats. Open seven days a week, the Atchison County Historical Society Museum includes a rare gun collection that dates back to the American Revolution, exhibits about the Lewis and Clark expedition and Amelia Earhart, the smallest “unofficial” presidential library in the world, and more.
