Presented by Keith Wondra, Assistant Curator at Old Cowtown Museum.
In 1868-1869, Darius Munger constructed his house and hotel on the northwest corner of 9th and Waco. Over the years and through different owners the house has survived to become one of the oldest structures in Wichita. Keith Wondra will explain the history of the Munger House and its role in the creation of Wichita and the founding of Old Cowtown Museum.
