1900 Youtz Carriage House

In 2022, the Youtz Carriage House was gifted to the GCHV Foundation by the current owners of the property at 117 N 1st Street.  The brick home at this location was built by the Youtz Family in 1913 and was used as both a residence and a store for the Youtz Millinery.  The carriage house will be relocated to the GCHV and placed behind the Marchant Home.

Museum Building Exterior Improvements

The Museum Building was built as the original workshop for the Guthrie County Conservation and is basically a garage that has been turned into a Museum.  It's way past time that we pay some attention to this building and improve its appearance both inside and out.
