Judging from the photos on Google Maps, the contents of the Martin and Osa Johnson Safari Museum are artifacts that were picked up by safaris to Africa. An example:

The building also houses the public library. It was Santa Fe's fifth depot in Chanute. [travelks]

Once a great roundhouse, now a hole with some bricks. The turntable pit at Chanute, KS is all that's left of a once grand structure in 2015.
