Support the Museum
Your generosity keeps Rice County history alive for future generations.
Why Your Gift Matters
The Coronado Quivira Museum preserves and shares the rich heritage of Rice County, Kansas — from the Spanish expeditions of Francisco Vázquez de Coronado to the Indigenous peoples of Quivira and the pioneers who travelled the Santa Fe Trail.
As a non-profit institution operated by the Rice County Historical Society, we rely on the generosity of donors like you to maintain our collections, develop new exhibits, and offer educational programmes for schools and visitors.
Every contribution, large or small, makes a direct difference to our ability to serve the community and honour the stories of those who came before us.
