Experience the sights and sounds of an old 1870s county fair at Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita on Saturday, October 3, 2020. Although this year’s County Fair will look different (masks are required indoors, and also outdoors in situations where you can’t socially distance), it will still be a great time to experience life in simpler days.
You’ll enjoy making memories with your family as you experience a county fair like it was in the past – an event where people met with their neighbors, came to see what’s new, and engaged in a little friendly competition and games of chance.
The County Fair is a family-friendly event for all ages. There are any number of things you might see or participate in at Cowtown’s County Fair, depending on when you arrive and which buildings/areas you visit.
Be sure to catch all the 1870s style skills and crafts that will be on display throughout the county fair!

Events like these are a great time to experience Cowtown. Volunteer re-enactors come out and make the town really come alive, and there’s always activity happening somewhere.
If you get hungry or thirsty, rustle up some grub (hot dogs) and sarsaparilla in the saloon, and don’t forget to take lots of selfies in front of the wanted posters tacked up to fences around town. š
Regular admission applies to Cowtown’s County Fair, but there’s no additional cost for special events like these.
If you are a Cowtown Member (like I am) you and all your kids or grandkids get in free!! This is one of the best membership deals in town.
