Join us Sunday, July 19th, from 1-5 pm, as the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum celebrates 2 special birthdays!

Celebrating their 156th Years – Wichita was officially “born” July 21, 1870, just 3 months after the establishment of Sedgwick County, Kansas

The last 156 years have gone by like a rocket! Celebrate the origin of Sedgwick County, followed months later by its first city, Wichita. Enjoy activities, programs, and refreshments in the Museum’s Heritage Square, and take a stroll through the Museum to explore our local history.

Free admission to members and their guests. For all others: bring a homemade or store-bought birthday card for free admittance to this annual celebration! (No time to make an extra stop? Greeting cards are available year-round in the Museum Store!)

Join us for the afternoon with an ice cream social, music, and many other fun experiences!

Custard Cookie Sandwiches supplied by Freddy’s Frozen Custard!

The Carillon will be played from the 5th Floor Clock Tower at 1pm at 2pm.
