About
The Emmett Kelly Museum in Sedan, Kansas, nominally honors their native son, the famed hobo circus clown. The museum opened in 1967 In a story told by Larry Runyon, Emmett Kelly came to the dedication of the Emmett Kelly Museum. At the dedication he leaned over to the Mayor and told him they had purchased the wrong house. He was born in the house across the street. Red faced the Mayor replied back "Don't tell anyone!" The museum was moved into the historic Sedan Opera House in 1980, where it resides today.
