This Year's Project: Access to Carnegie Library
About Our Organization
The High Plains Historical Society has had many people throughout the years with vision of preserving our history. As the next generation we are working hard to continue what was started and to continue to add new displays to our facility.
In 2022 we replaced all lighting to LED and have starting putting down new flooring and repainting as we better the displays we have.
Current Project: Access to Carnegie Library
As the vision of the Board of Directors moves forward we are working on making an access hallway entrance to the Carnegie Library. By doing this it allows full access to this historic space for visitors.
Our goal is to extend the balcony on the North side of the museum, installing a walkway from that location into the southwest window of the Carnegie Library. This walkway will be directly above the breezeway that connects the HPHS Museum and the Carnegie Library Basement.
Future goals will allow the Carnegie Library to be used as a research center and meeting rooms.
Update of Museum
Project Details
We are working hard to update the facility and exhibits in the museum. We want it to be a destination location when people come to McCook. With updating exhibits to bringing in new exhibits we are working hard to accomplish this.
