Library

A small, but impressive, research library is available for people wishing to find additional information about the Santa Fe Trail. It is also an important resource for genealogical research on early families in Pawnee County.

The Santa Fe Trail Center’s library is open free-of-charge to the public. The library houses published materials related to the Santa Fe Trail, Kansas History, the American West and museum topics. The museum owns the War of Rebellion series, a collection of the official documents from the Civil War. Books and materials cannot be checked out, but reading on-site is encouraged.

Visitors are encouraged to contact the museum for an appointment to ensure that someone will be available to assist them. The library is closed if the Curator is unavailable.

The library is open Tuesday through Friday 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and every other weekend 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

If you have a question related to the library you may email us at curator@santafetrailcenter.org.
