History of Kellogg
Kellogg was planned in 1865 because a railroad, the Mississippi and Missouri Railroad, was going to be built through the area. When the railroad arrived in 1866, Kellogg became a station along the line. The railroad's end point stayed in Kellogg for a while, which helped the town grow quickly in its early days.
Today, one of the most interesting places in Kellogg is the Kellogg Museum complex. It has five buildings! The main building used to be the Simpson Hotel, built in 1909. The museum also has an old one-room schoolhouse and a country church, showing what life was like long ago.
