Happy birthday, Kansas! The Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum is hosting a FREE event for Kansas Day 2024.
Celebrate 163 years of Statehood with song and verse, featuring local musicians! Over the past several years, it has become a tradition at the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum to celebrate Kansas statehood with live performances in song and verse, harkening back to the cowboy years of Kansas.
This year’s Kansas Day Celebration features musical hosts The Diamond W Wranglers and Jennylou and the Buckaroos, with cameo appearances by other local performers, including “Cowboy Poet” Scott Wiswell!
The annual event is made possible by museum volunteers-Friends of the Historical Museum. It will be streamed live on the Museum’s Facebook Page due to its popularity and limited seating. Join us on January 28, 2024, from 2-3 pm. Admission is FREE and open to the public of all ages.
Kansas became a state on January 29, 1861, and every year around this time we like to celebrate with free or inexpensive Kansas Day events in and around Wichita.
This Kansas Day celebration is free. What fun! How will you celebrate Kansas Day?

Carolyn,
The historical museum is near the New Library or the Old Library building?

Near the Old Library (on Main). Sorry I forgot to update that paragraph about where the building is located!
