Victorian Cottage Summer

A featured exhibit of the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum includes “A Wichita Cottage.” This exhibit authentically recreates a typical middle-class Wichita home of the late 19th century, complete with Victorian adornment and the emerging technology that would soon change domestic life and society in general. Seven individual rooms compose this environmental exhibit. Visit and pay a social call on the residents of a Wichita cottage. This 1890 Victorian house is authentically decorated throughout, from the wooden icebox on the back porch to the combination gas and electric ceiling light fixture hanging in the parlor.

An annual exhibit, during the summer months, you can view this Victorian Cottage as it would have been adorned during the hot and dusty summer months.
