Kansas Historical Society
After the Environmental Protection Agency designated the southeast Kansas town of Treece a "Superfund" site, almost all of its residents took advantage of a government buy-out and moved away. The Kansas Museum of History's collecting efforts to document the history of Treece led to a special exhibit, Formerly Known As Treece, now on display in the State Archives gallery. A radio documentary on the topic was also produced by Kansas Public Radio.
