Emmett Kelly Museum

The Emmett Kelly Museum was founded in 1967 to honor Emmett Kelly Sr., who was born in Sedan, Kansas on December 9, 1898. The Emmett Kelly Museum promotes the understanding and appreciation of regional history and events in ways that recognize and explain our shared past as the foundation for our future; by creating innovative learning environments, programs and tools for exploration that help people of all ages, origins, and geographic locations; and by promoting the collection and preservation of historical artifacts, buildings and materials of historical value and interests.
