That’s why the museum strives to develop a strong community bond with Buffalo and the surrounding area through its education programs and exhibits. The Jim Gatchell Memorial Museum proudly presents educational programs for all ages!
Our educational programs are often conducted in cooperation with area school districts and groups, but are also offered as content for other programs. We also offer homeschool programs year round. For school tours, please read our School Chaperone and Field Trip Information guide.
Coloring Pages are available for children throughout the museum galleries for our young visitors to take home.
The museum is offering free programming while it hosts Spark! Places of Innovation. Program details can be viewed by visiting the Spark!

Still hungry for history? Walking and driving tour maps featuring Johnson County history, are available at the museum front desk.
The Echoes of the Past Cemetery Tours are night-time, lantern-led tours at Buffalo’s Willow Grove Cemetery. The tours occur in mid-August and cost $25/person. Who doesn’t want to hang out at the cemetery at night, while volunteers dress as an area residents while performing a first-person oral narrative?
2024 Echoes of the Past Cemetery Tours will occur on August 7, 8, 9, 10 and again on August 14, 15, 16, 17.
