Morton County Historical Society Museum

A visit to the Morton County Historical Museum is an exploration in history.

As you enter the museum, you will note the beautiful paintings around the room, depicting the history of Morton County. All are painted by local artists, reflecting pride in sturdy pioneer ancestors.

Walking through the museum, your imagination will allow you to relive Coronado's quest as he crosses the prairie; to experience the Indian's life as he follows the herds of buffalo. The Santa Fe Trail becomes a reality in your mind, and you can plainly visualize the freight wagons lead by William Becknell, as they hurry towards Middle Springs, just below Point of Rocks, for the only available water after leaving Wagon Bed Springs on the Cimarron Cut-Off.
