A new project uncovered something old.
That’s what happened in Alma, where the county historical museum staff were working on renovations and made an unexpected find – right underneath their feet. This museum is working to honor and preserve the history and culture of Wabaunsee County.
During the last two weeks, we’ve learned about remarkable women in business at Alma. Remarkable things are happening at the county historical museum in Alma, too.
Marci Spaw is executive director of the Wabaunsee County Historical Society and Museum. Spawgrew up on a farm near Overbrook, went to K-State for bachelors and masters degrees, and met and married Christopher. They now live out in Wabaunsee County’s rural Farmer township, population 119 people. Now, that’s rural.
Spaw joined the museum staff in 2020 and became the full-time executive director in 2022. The mission of the Wabaunsee County Historical Society and Museum is to record the history and culture of the people of the county over time, provide education, and collect, preserve and exhibit artifacts relating to the county.
