HUTCHINSON, Kan. — As we reached the 100th year of Hutchinson, many things had changed. Airline service came and went from the area once again, two hospitals combined into one entity, and several of the once-proud drive-ins closed. It was also the start of what would become one of the great museums in the nation. All that and Evel Knievel, too, as we look back at the 1970s on Sunday's edition of The Decades.
We invite you to help us with this trip down memory lane. If you have specific memories of our city or county's growth since the 1960s, or have photos you'd like to share, send them to [email protected].
Celebrate 150 years of Hutchinson and Reno County with The Decades: a 15-part series with a new decade released each Sunday morning. Follow the links below to catch up on the latest edition.
