The Barton County Historical Society Museum and Village is currently exhibiting a collection of wedding gowns from the 20th century, including one from a 1916 wedding with an unusual story. Meanwhile, Barton County Master Gardener are planning to plant a garden at the village, using the herbs, vegetables and flowers that a Kansas family may have grown more than 100 years ago.
