Each year, hundreds of area students take part in National History Day. The subject of history attracts young people who grow into teachers, writers, archivists, attorneys, museum professionals, and historians. The Museum is actively involved in fostering their interest through the Young Historians Club which meets monthly at the Museum. The club provides young history enthusiasts with a learning laboratory featuring special behind-the-scenes access to the Museum and the study collection of artifacts, as well as resources for special projects of their own design and creation of exhibits in the Davis Gallery.

Contact the Museum for more information on this special club.

At Home with History

The Museum has been housed in Wichita’s original City Hall for the last four decades. This landmark building was constructed in 1890 and is considered an exhibit in itself. A wide variety of the Museum’s exhibits showcase life in Wichita over the centuries, from the Wichita Indian tribe—whose name the town adopted— to the cowboys who drove their cattle here, to the dawn of aviation and the City’s role as the Air Capital of the World.
