Cowtown preserves frontier feel with authentic replica layout
Historic Wichita plans revive 19th century Cowtown along the Arkansas River with original style structures. The jail church and Munger House are maintained from 1870s sources, while other buildings are replicas based on photographs. A sod roof school mirrors the original, with future plans for a barbershop office livery stable and more.
