The tornado that ripped through El Dorado on June 10th, 1958, is being remembered at the Butler County Educational center.

Nearly 50 years after the twister roared through the unsuspecting town, museum educational curator Lisa Cooley and her team are opening an exhibition called "Two Minutes in Terror" remembering and honoring those who suffered through the powerful 1958 twister.

Pictures, sounds, news clips, recovered artifacts, and personal accounts from the day of the deadly storm fill the exhibition hall. It's a day those who suffered and survived say they will always remember, but they say it's a day they fear the rest of Kansas has already forgotten.

Cooley says, without this exhibit, this day in history could be forgotten. But she says that's why they're doing this ... to ensure this important piece of history won't ever be forgotten.

The free event is open May 1st through October 4th at the Butler County Education Center Monday through Saturday. The dedication of the tornado memorial will be on the 50 year anniversary, June 10th, 2008.
