Attraction | | Deaf Cultural Center (and William J. Marra Museum) | In 2003, Relocated to the Deaf Cultural Center
Discover what it means to be deaf in America, explore deaf culture, and learn about the history and accomplishments of deaf citizens at this newly-opened museum. Interactive modules teach American Sign Language words and provide a fast-paced quiz game that playfully tests what you've experienced.
Watch videos about deaf culture, the history of the Kansas School for the Deaf (KSD), and more. Discover how KSD grew with the city, beginning in the early days of Olathe when the school was called the "Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb." Museum displays challenge viewers to see who the deaf are and how they communicated.
Operated by the Kansas Educational Foundation for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the museum is open weekdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Sat., 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Tours available by appointment. Adults, $2. Students, $1.
Deaf Cultural Center on the campus of Kansas School for the Deaf.
