Specific Need
Money is always an issue. This year the county commissioner discontinued our annualsupport through the county tax system. This has left a large hole in our financialsupport. In addition to that loss in our general fund, we are trying to generate support for the rehabilitation of the Black Business District and the Farmington Christian Church.
Mission

We believe the thoughtful and proactive preservation of our rich heritage is the best building block of the future. Our museum occupies the historic ATSF Freight Depot at 200 S 10th St in Atchison. The Historical Society also is working on developing the Black Business District in the 1100 Block of N 7th St and the Farmington Christian Church in rural Atchison County.
