HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Museum has started a new series of exhibits that will highlight local heros.

The series will start with firefighters and then include police officers, first responders and other groups. The museum wants to trace the history of each organization including major events, showcase equipment and photographs. They also want people to share their heroic stories.

The museum is looking for photos, equipment, badges, certificates and other related objects for temporary loan. All photos and documents will be scanned and returned to the owners before the opening of the exhibit. Other loaned items will be exhibited for about one year and then returned to the lender at the end of the exhibit. The museum asks that you bring items to them by August 24.

If you need more information, you can contact Henry Platts at henry@underkansas.org or Lynn Ledeboer at lynn@undergroundkansas.org. You can also phone the museum at (620)-662-1184.
