HOISINGTON - After the Hoisington Historical Society Museum was broken into and burglarized in February, it became clear the facility needed better security. While all the items taken have since been anonymously returned, concerns linger over the possibility of it happening again, members of the society’s board of directors said. Soon, motion sensors will alert authorities should anyone else attempt to purloin artifacts important to Hoisington’s heritage, courtesy of the United Way of Central Kansas.
