Nellie Kusha was a collector of all sorts of things – glass, furniture, ceramics, toys, dolls, coins, clocks, stamps, jewelry –anything that caught her eye. She and her husband, Joe, moved to California in 1957 and opened a museum. When Nellie died her collection was donated to people in her home state of Kansas. The collection of 28,000 pieces returned to Colby, Kansas to reside in a museum designed by her son. The museum includes a gallery of Colby history and six relocated buildings depicting prairie life of the early 1900s.
The museum is accessible but the doors to the outside exhibits are very heavy. The 1930s farmhouse has steps. Some of the other buildings have high thresholds. A paved walkway leads to all of the buildings.
The parking lot is large enough for any RV. Museum
