Farmbook: 19th Century Newspapers As Social Media
Elizabeth Ernst Miller, OCM Interpreter
January 24, 2026
2- 3 p.m. in the Old Cowtown Museum’s Visitor Center

From lengthy screeds by anonymous posters complaining about politics to dubious medical and parenting advice, 19th-century newspapers such as the Kansas Farmer show that there is nothing new under the sun, and yes, we have always been “like this.”

Admission for lectures is just $3/person. Old Cowtown members and volunteers get in free!
