One of the 8 Wonders of Kansas Architecture!

The Cooper Barn, the largest barn in Kansas was formerly known as the Foster Farm Barn. It was moved 16 miles in 1992 to the Prairie Museum site.

The majority of the collections on exhibit at the Prairie Museum are from the Kuska Family that lived in Colby for over 50 years. Nellie Kuska had a radio show on KXXX called “the Hobby Lady.” Listen to Jaylea Black read one of Nellie’s shows.
