Lenexa's History Museum: antiques, photographs, family heirlooms, Legler Barn Quilters, information on Lenexa's origins and families, including a Lenexa History Library and Gift Shop are on exhibit.
The Lenexa Historical Society is a nonprofit organization created to encourage community involvement and dedicated to the appreciation, preservation, and promotion of Lenexa's historical heritage. We accomplish this through our sponsorship of educational meetings, participation in community events & festivals, and in our partnership with the City of Lenexa to manage the Legler Barn Museum complex.
Built in 1864 by early Lenexa resident Adam Legler, the Legler barn is one of the few stone barns still in existence in Kansas. It was originally situated on the Santa Fe Trail at the corner of 95th and Quivira, Lenexa, Kansas, and reconstructed in 1983 at its current location in Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park. Today the barn houses a museum operated by the Lenexa Historical Society. Guided tours are provided by staff and volunteers.
Antiques, historic photographs, family heirlooms, information on Lenexa's origins and families, including the 1912-1913 Frisco Train Depot.
The Heritage room Research Library, managed by the Lenexa Historical Society, houses the history of Lenexa and the area, Lenexa families, and contains history and information regarding City government.
