"At Goessel’s Mennonite Heritage and Agricultural Museum I bought traditionally made peppernuts from Anna Beth Birky—small, intensely spiced cookies that carry the region’s Christmas baking legacy year‑round." - Arati Menon, Megan Spurrell
What a nice way to spend a couple of hours! Friendly and helpful staff. Well stocked shopping area. Lots of history, right at your fingertips. Don't miss your chance to see the Liberty Bell made of wheat!

Great place to learn about early settlers, their families, religion, and farming practices on the open plains.

Great place to learn about local Mennonite history. We were in town visiting family and walked over to the threshing days festival. The whole town gets involved. What a neat small town Kansas celebration.

This is a place where you see back in time the history of hard working people. Even during their past times they found ways to add to their lives and others.
The quality of their lives in years past while farming the land is of good report.

My family is featured in the museum with pictures and stories. It was really great visiting for the first time. Cousin Elaine took me there to see our Heritage.

Another amazing small town museum with a ton of local history you can't find anywhere else. Awesome director, and they have Peppernuts! Bring cash, and don't forget to sign the guest book!

Loved the enormous amount of artifacts and information. Don't pass up the informational video at the beginning. Very friendly help getting us started. Each building was fascinating and beautiful. Well kept.
