History Highlight Tours: Inventing the American Road Trip

Explore unique stories of American life in a 1920s Kansas town with our special History Highlights Tour Series – and this month’s theme is INVENTING THE AMERICAN ROAD TRIP! 

Explore the rise of America’s Favorite Vacation, as new inventions like the automobile, paved roads, gas stations, National Parks, and more encouraged families hit the road! Each tour includes special featured stories and a custom guided route led by our professional museum staff, who get to highlight their favorite facts and collections around our town and farm.

Tours are designed for adults and kids 5th grade and higher. The tour is included with General Admission. No RSVPs and space is first–come first–serve, so come early to claim your spot! **Friends of Shawnee Town Members are entitled to FREE general admission (based on their Membership Level).
