Heritage Center of Dickinson County

Children in Abilene have so many wonderful experiences to discover the history of Kansas and Abilene.  First Graders had the opportunity to learn even more about the Native Americans and Pioneers that lived in or near Abilene.  On our field trip to the Heritage Center of Dickinson County, we learned more about the tools that Native Americans used and the homes that Pioneers first built when they arrived to Kansas.  We were only able to visit the Heritage Center for an hour, so please take time to visit the Heritage Center with your family and experience the rich history of Abilene.
