Stop by the Stevens County Library to take a look at the miniatures on display. These miniature rooms and scenes were made by the late Mrs. Irene Stratton of Omaha, Nebraska. She was the mother of Julie Kinser, a Hugoton resident.
Mrs. Stratton had a passion for miniatures and loved sharing these at many local and National Miniaturist Shows in the Midwest.
Some of the Artisan Dolls were made by Hazel Samuelson of Omaha, Nebraska.
