Wichita Hotel Near Cowtown Museum

The blacksmith, rancher, and pioneer homemaker, and other late 19th-century slices of life, can be found at the Wichita Old Cowtown Museum, just 5 miles west of downtown, while our hotel near Cowtown Museum is only a short distance from there. On the living history museum’s 17 acres, 30 exhibits and costumed staff portray life in an Old West cattle town and on an 1880s farm, complete with livestock and crops. The Cowtown Museum offers a memorable opportunity to explore the past of Wichita and Sedgwick County. This frontier town of more than 30 authentically furnished buildings features a hands-on experience with the past including a working blacksmith shop and dramatic re-enactments. Adjacent 1880 DeVore Farm depicts country life, complete with farm animals and buildings.
