Old Cowtown Museum is an accredited history museum located in Wichita, Kansas, United States. It is located next to the Arkansas River in central Wichita.[1][2] The Museum was established in 1952, and is one of the oldest open-air history museums in central United States with 54 historic and re-created buildings, including a period farm and out-buildings, situated on 23 acres of land off the original Chisholm Trail. Cowtown is a combination of attraction, museum, living history site, and historic preservation project.[3] The Historic Wichita Cowtown, Inc. Board, a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit institution, works with the City of Wichita to further the Museum and its mission.
