Where America’s Story Feels Real

As America turns 250, Wichita invites you to celebrate in ways that feel refreshingly authentic. Here, history isn’t something you only read about. It’s something you can climb aboard, walk through, listen to and taste for yourself.

One minute you’re stepping into the Old West at Old Cowtown Museum, watching blacksmiths hammer steel and carpenters shape wood the same way they did 150 years ago. The next, you’re climbing aboard Doc, one of only two airworthy Boeing B-29 Superfortresses left in the world. Later, you’re digging into smoky Kansas barbecue and a slice of homemade pie before catching live music under the prairie sky.

Take a look around and see how Wichita is celebrating America250.
