From rare Native American moccasins to early physician instruments to vintage clothing displays; the Weston Historical Museum has preserved local artifacts to enjoy today. Discover what life was like in Platte County from prehistoric days through World War II. Favorite exhibits include Civil War relics, a newspaper office, household items, tools, glassware, china, furniture, historic documents and everyday objects from the area's past. The 'Nostalgia Store' in the museum features a variety of books, games and candy.
The Museum was founded in 1960 by private donations from local townspeople and descendants of those who first settled the town. Weston's location, close to Ft.

Historians can find an abundance of clippings, files and pictures for their research.
