Carson County Square House Museum

The Carson County Square House Museum is a museum complex with twenty-one buildings, galleries, and outdoor exhibits in Panhandle. The collection includes artifacts that document regional development spanning several centuries.

The original building, a white frame house, was constructed in 1887 using lumber brought by oxcart from Kansas. It served first as a residence for railway company representatives.

The museum displays artwork and objects that reflect how people lived during different periods of regional history. Visitors can see old farming tools, household items, and recreated rooms showing the daily routines of earlier generations.

The location is in downtown Panhandle and easy to find. Visitors should allow plenty of time to explore all the buildings and outdoor exhibits throughout the grounds.

The museum runs a special summer program for children that teaches about the region's history and traditional ways of life. This hands-on experience allows young visitors to learn practical skills and crafts from earlier periods.
