We at the Stanton County Museum share the history of Stanton County and the surrounding area with a focus on the Paleo-Indian Winger Bison Kill Site, early town history and growth, the impact of the Dust Bowl and Depression, and the growth of modern agriculture.

The exhibits and displays found at the museum tell these stories and many more. A complete collection of county newspapers and other archival materials are available for research.
