Part of the Rooks County Historical Society’s mission is to preserve the history and the cultural experience for all. The Society’s efforts continue with a tribute to cattle production and Western traditions. The Rooks County Historical Museum has been preparing something special; something grand. This Christmas season, the Historical Society presents a wonderful gift not only to Rooks County, but to all of western Kansas. Ladies and gentlemen, this is something for Rooks County to brag about! As the Museum hosts the first Cowboy Christmas Poetry Gathering, it is excited to announce the Grand Opening of the new art gallery featuring the work of Western artist Dino Cornay.

Many People: “I sure enjoyed the article you published about Rooks County’s high property taxes.”.

You may have heard it said at one time or another in your spiritual journey that you will spend eternity somewhere. The question is, 'WHERE will you spend eternity?' While most Christians will naturally think that if they believe in God, they will be assured of eternity in heaven. It would be wise to look a little deeper.
