Corporate Sponsorship Proposal 2008

Your support will help us to restore and care for over 12,000 artifacts and 27 original buildings entrusted to the Museum. It will help to take care of our animals that make history come alive for the children who visit the Museum annually. It will also support visitor interaction with professionally trained, costumed educators who interpret the stories of the buffalo hunters, cowboys, townspeople, tradesmen and farmers who settled on the western frontier.

Mission Statement

Old Cowtown Museum is an open-air, living history museum that interprets the history of Wichita, and Sedgwick County.

The Museum accomplishes this through the preservation of artifacts, exposure to interactive historic experiences, and other activities through education and entertaining programs.

The museum is owned and operated by the City with the support of the 501C non-profit Board of Trustees, private donors and members.
