History

The Niedringhaus brothers of St. Louis sent lumber by ox-cart from Dodge City and built this square house on their N Bar N Ranch here in Carson County in the mid-1880s. In 1887 a railroad official occupied the pioneer cottage while the Southern Kansas Railway was being extended from Kiowa, Kansas, to Panhandle City. It later became the home of distinguished settlers including pioneer banker and treasurer of Southern Kansas Railway Company James Christopher Paul, rancher-judge J. L. Harrison, innkeeper James B. Wilks, and Sheriff Oscar L. Thorp. The oldest house in town, it was purchased in 1965 and restored as the Carson County Museum.
