Grab your friends and history enthusiasts! Due to popular demand, the Kansas Oil Museum will have two Ghost Town Tours across Butler County on Saturday, September 24th. Each Ghost Town Tour includes transportation on a luxury bus, a light lunch prepared by Chef Natasha from The Kitchen, and engaging commentary by Ken Spurgeon and Suzanne Walenta. These tours are of towns that were once thriving communities but today aren't on the map. What happened to them? What was the town story and impact on the county? What's left of the town? What structures remain? Ken is our History Consultant and is an educator, author, and award-winning filmmaker. Suzanne is our Curator and oversees our exhibits and does genealogy research in our Rolla A. Clymer Research Facility. Ken and Suzanne are also the directors of our historic television series, Kansas Crossroads. Two tour times are available, with limited seats for each! Morning Tour from 9 AM to 1 PM Afternoon Tour from 2 PM to 6 PM Tickets are on sale for $45 each until September 10th, then will be $50 per person. Tours will start and finish at the Kansas Oil Museum in El Dorado. Tickets available for purchase here: https://www.kansasoilmuseum.org/shop/
