The Finney County Historical Museum in Garden City opened the 2022 display year today with a new short-term exhibit in the Front Door Gallery that focuses on the life and career of Robert J. Dole, who died in December as one of the best-known Kansans in history. Entitled “Bob Dole, One of the greatest of the Greatest Generation,” the exhibit incorporates many of the Russell native’s connections to Finney County and southwest Kansas, as well as his dedication to the Sunflower State. The Front Door Gallery is a small space inside the museum’s main entrance at 403 S. Fourth St., adjacent to the pedestrian arches at Lee Richardson Zoo. Admission is free and viewing hours run from 1 to 5 p.m. daily, with the exception of federal holidays Jan. 17 and Feb. 21. All other museum displays are accessible simultaneously.
