Feel like you've traveled back in time at the Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita, KS.

Old Cowtown Museum: Reviews from families visiting Old Cowtown Museum. Cowtown depicts life in the 1870s. It is neat to walk around and really see and feel how people lived at that time. The covered wagon ride is a highlight. Walking through the various houses and other buildings really gives a feel for how life was at that time. A great way to help kids learn about history while they think they are "just having fun"!
