Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum, Regional history museum in downtown Wichita, United States.
The Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum occupies four floors of the former 1890 Wichita City Hall, a brick building with Victorian details and a prominent clock tower. The space displays objects and room settings that document daily life and the region's development.
The museum was founded in 1939 to preserve Wichita's history since its founding in the 1860s. The collection focuses on three fields that defined the city: aircraft engineering, guitar manufacturing, and early industrial growth.
The name 'Magic City' reflects how rapidly Wichita transformed from open land into a thriving urban center. Visitors can observe how local manufacturing and innovations shaped the community's identity.
This place can be visited on several days throughout the week, with different hours on weekdays and weekends. Visitors should check current hours ahead of time and wear comfortable shoes to explore the four floors.
A handcrafted automobile from 1916 built entirely in Wichita stands as evidence of the city's early car manufacturing. Such locally produced items have been carefully preserved to show their importance to Wichita's economy.
