On a momentous day for history enthusiasts, Thursday, June 13, 2024, will mark the opening of an exciting new exhibit at the Gann Museum of Saline County. “Building History” promises to be an immersive experience that delves into the rich architectural heritage of Saline County, highlighting seven iconic structures that have contributed to the county’s unique character.
The exhibit is a testament to the county’s commitment to preserving its history and cultural landmarks. Visitors will be able to walk through a curated journey, uncovering the stories and significance behind these remarkable buildings.

- The Gann Building, a stunning Victorian-style structure constructed in 1893 from local bauxite, is one of the main highlights. This architectural marvel was built by the patients of Dr. Dewell Gann Sr., who could not afford to pay for his medical services. The building now serves as the Gann Museum itself, a fitting tribute to its origins.
