The Gardner Historical Museum invites you to join us in preserving the rich history of Gardner, Kansas and southwest Johnson County by becoming a member of the Museum.
The Gardner Historical Museum was established in 2002 when a local group of citizens had the foresight and concern that Gardner’s history was being lost. Today the museum has a 12 member board with officers and over 100 members and friends. The museum which is a non-profit 501c3 organization operates on local donations, grants, and the support of local citizens.
