The Smoky Hill Museum will return to pre-pandemic hours starting Tuesday.
The free museum is open Tuesday-Friday, 11 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Hours had been temporary reduced to provide safety measures to protect visitors and guests.
“We are excited to return to our longer hours,” said Museum Director Susan Hawksworth. “Now that the public is more comfortable getting out and about, we wanted to give them ample time to visit the museum.”
Museum staff will continue with heightened cleaning, and the museum and its galleries have been treated with Prevent X, a long-lasting antimicrobial that provides continuous surface protection in between regular cleaning and disinfecting. In addition, all interactive elements will soon be available.
Visitors will also be able to view the new exhibit, The Crossroads, which celebrates the birth, growth and change of downtown Salina.
The Smoky Hill Museum, 211 W. Iron Avenue, is a nationally accredited history museum in the heart of downtown Salina.
