Busy, busy, busy. The holiday season is full of all sorts of get-togethers and events that you might feel a little more tired these days. However, there's something about a calm, old-fashioned Christmas that makes everything feel warm and cozy again. It's a wonderful event that might just bring you back into that holiday spirit in time for Christmas day. Check out what this Kansas museum has put together for the holidays this year!
Have you ever been to the Old Cowtown Museum in Wichita before? Well, now's the time to start! This replica town from the 1865-1880 era, with thousands of items from that time period housed in buildings just as old.
However, once December comes around, they host an Old Fashioned Christmas event that can't be beat. You can even meet Old St. Nick during your visit.
Enjoy carriage rides, old Christmas carols, hot chocolate, and a Victorian town decorated for the holidays.
It's even more fun when you dress up for the occasion! Hand made dresses and old western gear are perfect for any trip to Cowtown.
Experiencing a smaller event with the magic of Christmas really makes this one memorable for the whole family. You have plenty of space to roam around once you're inside the town, and there's no specific path to follow. Just fun!
In addition to these Old Fashioned Christmas events, you can also grab tickets for Breakfast With Santa, where food, crafts, and story time intersect for even more cherished memories.
You can attend the Victorian Christmas on December 7-8th and 14-15th, and Breakfast With Santa on the mornings of the 8th and 15th.
You'll find your holiday festivities and Old Cowtown Museum at 1865 Museum Blvd., Wichita, Kansas. For more information or for advance tickets, check out their website here.
All sorts of fun things happen during the winter, like light shows and this nature center where you can see bald eagles closer than ever before.
