Why do we lose history and how do we rediscover it?

There are many reasons communities have gaps in their history. Lack of preservation or historians, disasters, and population loss are a few.

So what is preservation and why is it important for communities like Hutchinson and Reno County? Can things from the past influence the present and change how we live today? 

These are all questions our friends with the Reno County Historical Society will answer as they tell you a story about local history from ancient artifacts to geological data that can save lives during critical emergencies. 

Discover the behind-the-scenes work of local historians and archivists as they uncover local history from local families to abandoned mining worksites underground. Ask questions about history that’s important to you and why historians and librarians want to protect it for you.
