Old Town is decidedly urban, distinctly Kansan.
Nestled in the city's heart among the brick-lined streets and
historic lampposts are a collection of converted brick warehouses,
circa 1870-1930, with native limestone accents and
distinctive architectural features. More than 100 restaurants,
shops, clubs, theaters, galleries, museums, and
businesses have found their niche here
under the unfettered Kansas sky.
Old Cowtown Museum preserves, protects and presents
the living history of Wichita, Sedgwick County and
the Southern Plains circa 1865 to 1880.
The heritage of the Old West is an American birthright.
