The Reno County Museum is following up on its Hutchinson Heroes theme with a new exhibit honoring the Hutchinson Police Department.
A reception was held Thursday evening to open the exhibit. It’s the second installment in a series of exhibits that honors Hutchinson’s first responders and emergency personnel. Hutchinson Police Chief Jeff Hooper says it is great the museum is taking time to honor those who serve the area.
“I think it’s a great exhibit the museum has set up,” Hooper said. “I came and enjoyed the one for the fire department. Just the fact that the local museum is honoring the heroes of our community.”
The displays take people back to the 1800s and into present day with artifacts that came from both the museum archives and officers who donated to the cause. Museum Director Mike Ables says you will find just about everything.
