The Museum is home of the famous World War II Canteen display. The interpretative display details the story of volunteers that for 54 months, 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, throughout World War II, met every U.S. Military train, providing food, treats, and hospitality to its passengers.

Over six and a half million servicemen and women were served during the Canteens existence.

A western prairie village is housed behind the museum. All the structures have been restored and furnished and are open to visitors.
The history, heritage and frontier spirit of Lincoln County are captured at the Lincoln County Historical Museum. The Museum contains treasures of life in Lincoln County, including a large collection of Native American artifacts.
