Greetings Herndon Community Museum friends! Be sure to stop in on these last few Saturday afternoons in September before the winter hours take effect. Winter hours are Mondays, 1:00 - 4:00 unless an emergency arises. You will see many displays rearranged since June when we had wall-to-wall visitors at the Ox-Roast. This year's Summer Puzzle has a coalition of museum's participating so enjoy the soon-to-be cooler weather while learning Kansas and local history. Our puzzle display features William Herndon, lawyer and statesman who had an interesting life. Learn more at the museum. We will be open this Labor Day weekend, Saturday, September 5th and Monday, September 7th, 1:00 - 4:00. Your donations are appreciated for all of our projects, like new flooring for the east display room and office area. Thank you supporters!

Ladies, are you looking for a neat summer dress? You may be choosing styles that feel light, comfortable, and effortlessly polished. Simple floral prints, soft colors, breezy fabrics, and flattering knee- or midi-length designs are perfect for these cooler days, whether you’re heading to brunch, shopping, work, or visiting a museum. A well-chosen summer dress makes getting dressed easy while keeping your look fresh, feminine, and comfortable all day long. Prices are somewhat higher these days then this shopping ad. Be sure to check out the Herndon Community Museum to browse in air-conditioning! See you Saturday afternoons 1:00 - 4:00!

The winning team member names are as follows:

Thank You for a Wonderful Ox‑Roast 2026

Ox‑Roast 2026 is officially in the books, and what a fantastic day it was. Our museum was filled wall‑to‑wall with history lovers of all ages, and the energy was incredible. From the parade all the way through the afternoon, families lined up to pose with Smokey Bear until 4:00, adding a little extra fun to an already memorable event.

A heartfelt thank‑you goes to the Ox‑Roast Committee for their ingenuity and dedication in planning a day that was both fun and safe for everyone. Your hard work showed in every detail.

The museum‑sponsored Scavenger Hunt was a hit with family teams, bringing a new sense of adventure to the day — many thanks to Rachel Grafel for making it happen.

We’ll be sharing more details, along with photos, very soon. In the meantime, we invite you to come back and spend a little time exploring the many donated items that make our museum one of the neatest and coolest places to stop in.

Thank you again for your support, your enthusiasm, and your presence. You helped make this year’s Ox‑Roast one to remember.

Today we honor our veterans for their willingness to serve, bravery and courage. The sacrifices were many so let's stop and pause in prayer for each and every one of them this day.

These days seem so crazy but such fun! It's so exciting to be getting Alumni reservations from guys/gals that I keep thinking are in their early 30's and they come to celebrate 60 years since graduation! YIKES, how can that be? We do thank all of you that plan on coming to the banquet and spending all day at the Ox-Roast. The years do fly by so, enjoy the weekend, take time to visit with old friends and possibly make some new ones. Hope to see you soon! Our staff will be ready to greet you at the museum and Smokey Bear may have a treat for you also!

Ready for Alumni Banquet and the Herndon Ox-Roast 2026? Be sure to make those plans and be prepared to enjoy the weekend. Many are working to make it a great event you will not regret! Any questions be sure to let the committee know! Can't wait to see you!
