This exhibit depicts the terrifying destruction and peculiarities caused by these awesome storms in Kansas through photos and illustrations.

This exhibit looks at why harvest is so important. More than just economic survival for farmers, it is a part of our past and our tradition. From the golden age of threshing to computerized combines, harvest time holds memories for many Kansans.
Wheat People: Celebrating Kansas Harvest also explores how changes in technology have influenced Kansas farm families. From field equipment to how meals are prepared and served along with other aspects such as nature, storage, and after-harvest festivals are examined within the exhibit.
