Kauffman Museum’s newest traveling exhibit, “A Day With the Birds: Community Science & the Audubon Christmas Bird Count,” has been given awards by the American Association of State and Local History (AASLH) and MPMA (Mountain-Plains Museum Association).
What am I willing to die for?
“Voices of Conscience: Peace Witness in the Great War” is traveling exhibit that remembers the witness of peace-minded people against the First World War (1914-1918). Now, the exhibit returns to Kauffman Museum for the first time since 2017.
