Geary County Historical Society & Museum

The Geary County Historical Society announced that it has started an Adopt-a-Window campaign to raise funds for window restoration at the Old Junction City High School building. The three-story limestone building boasts 110 windows, all of which need extensive wood repair before being repainted. The repainting project will also cover soffits, gutters, and fire escapes.

The public is being invited by the Historical Society to “Adopt” a window for restoration. Individuals, businesses, and organizations are all encouraged to adopt a window. Windows can also be adopted as memorials. All sponsors will be listed on a plaque following the project completion and all donations are tax deductible.

Located at 530 N. Adams, the 121-year-old high school building now serves as the Historical Society’s primary museum building and houses three floors of exhibits along with artifact storage space. The Old Junction City High School, a registered historic property, first opened to JCHS students in 1904 before later serving as the Departmental School and school administration offices before being purchased and donated to the Historical Society by Fred and Dorothy Bramlage in 1982.

Those interested in adopting a window should reach out to Heather at 785-238-1666 or by email at gearyhistory@gmail.com.
