The newest exhibit at the Finney County Historical Museum in Garden City has been designed to provide a colorful trip down Memory Lane – literally. Entitled “In Living Color,” the display features 16 historic photographs from Finney County’s past, each converted from original black and white to color. Included are images from 1885 to 1965, such as street scenes, landmark buildings and locations, people, agriculture, industry and others. The large-format color conversions are displayed with smaller black and white originals. Exhibit hours are 1-5 p.m. seven days weekly, with the display in place at least through March. The museum is located at 403 S. 4th Street in Finnup Park, adjacent to Lee Richardson Zoo.

The Prairie Museum's Garvey Room art exhibit for January through February, 2026, features digital art prints by Ronan Punk. This is a free exhibit; any visitors who stop by the museum are welcome to have a look around!

Norma Pipkin is a native of Ellis County, KS. Norma’s parents and grandparents spoke the German dialect and continued the customs of their ancestors, which influenced her interest in language and culture. She is a retired French and German teacher and has been involved as a lifetime member of the American Historical Society of Germans from Russia (AHSGR). In 2002, she completed a Master's degree in English as a second language at Fort Hays State University. As part of the completion of the degree, she developed a Volga German woman based on her great, great-grandmother. She has presented this throughout the years locally and also at AHSGR conventions.

Join us at February's Food For Thought for Norma's presentation, “History of Volga German”!
