The Petrified Wood Gallery is a showcase of natural history specializing in ancient woods and fossils from around the world plus Native American arrowheads and artifacts from within  25 miles of Ogallala. The collection is a result of the efforts of Howard and Harvey Kenfield who began collecting in the 1950's. In 2000, Kenfields donated their collection for display in Ogallala and for the benefit of the general public. In June, 2007, the Friends of the Kenfield Gallery received designation as a 501(c)(3) organization.

Stepping outside the exhibit area takes you to an impressive courtyard landscaped and maintained by Howard and Harvey.  It features an array of annuals, perennials, fountains, a tree constructed of barbed wire and provides a quiet place for one to "Rest and Be Thankful."

Guests from all over the globe are greeted by volunteers from the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). In addition to multiple stations throughout Ogallala and Keith County, these dedicated members of the community serve as cashiers and hosts at the Gallery.

Conveniently located at Ogallala's famed Front Street
500 block of East First Street.
