“one of the largest collections of artifacts in Kansas”
The Crawford County Historical Museum in Pittsburg, Kansas has one of the largest collections of artifacts, historical displays and educational material in Southeast Kansas. Unique items include a two headed calf, antique aerial fire truck, several replicas of the old mining camps and mining operations in Crawford County, a large steam shovel used in the Weir-Pittsburg Coalfield and several old buildings relocated to the museum for historical preservation. The Crawford County Historical Museum is the home of the Southeast Kansas Old Time Gas Engine and Tractor Show each June and the Southeast Kansas Old Time Gas Engine and Tractor Show in October.
