Thank you to Steve Richardson for his story about how the women of Cawker City in the late 1800’s built their own library!

Did you know 14 other libraries in the area are modeled off the original Cawker City Library?

Thank you to anyone who supported our Lil’ Red Schoolhouse Storytelling Nights this summer! We will have one more open house next Wednesday from 4-6 then the schoolhouse will be closed for the winter, besides private events.

Old Honey Creek School near Beloit, Kansas was destroyed by a fire in 1942 but was rebuilt on the same foundation and remained in operation until 1961. It was moved to this location in the roadside park on Kansas highways 24 and 9 in 1970.
