from staff reports
for seniors (60 years and older) and $2 for students. Children 12 years old and younger get in free of charge, as do veterans and active military members. The Sheridan County Museum is owned and operated by the Sheridan County Historical Society. The purpose of the museum collections is to further the appreciation and understanding of the prehistory, social and cultural history of Sheridan County. In 2007, the museum began offering a free program for children, the Junior Curator program. To participate,
all kids have to do is pick up a museum guide and activity book at the admission desk. The book is full of activities that children can do while exploring the museum. Children who participate in the program become Sheridan County Museum Junior Curators and receive a patch or a bookmark.
