Kansas Barbed Wire Museum, Museum of fencing history in La Crosse, United States.
The Kansas Barbed Wire Museum displays more than 2,400 types of barbed wire samples and numerous antique fencing tools from across the American West.
Established in 1970 in downtown La Crosse, the museum relocated to a new building next to the Post Rock Museum in 1990 due to growing collections.
The museum reveals how barbed wire transformed the American frontier by enabling property demarcation and changing traditional cattle ranching methods.
The facility opens from May through September, with Monday to Saturday hours of 9:45 AM to 4:30 PM and Sunday hours of 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM.
The Larry Greer Research Center maintains a collection of patents and publications documenting the technical evolution of barbed wire manufacturing methods.
