For current event information, see Cowtown Late Nights
Beginning August 2, Old Cowtown Museum will shift its regular hours of operation to 2 – 9 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays and 4 – 9 p.m. on Sundays. The new evening hours will offer a different perspective on Wichita life in the 1800s. Each evening will offer something different for visitors. Some nights, the Museum will interpret the town as it was in the Delano district of Wichita during the mid-1800s. Other evenings, Cowtown will celebrate present day Wichita with live, local bands, food trucks, craft beer, ghost tours and family movies.
Cowtown at Night is a new month-long event only in August. “We want to give visitors an opportunity to see and do new things at Old Cowtown Museum,” said Executive Director, Jacky Goerzen. “Having the Museum open in the evening will allow us to try new interpretations and to hold activities that we could not hold during the day.”
Experience Cowtown at Night when the wild west loosened their strings and kicked up their spurs. Enjoy music, craft beer, movies, ghost tours, and family game nights different evenings in August.
