Ready for a hootin' and hollerin' good time? Join us for the first-annual Cowtown Hootenanny! Get your dancin' boots on and join us! The Cowtown Hootenanny will be held on Saturday, October 16, 2021, from 4:00pm - 8:00pm at Old Cowtown Museum. Tickets are just $50. Must be 21 and older to enter. Guests are invited to visit the historic buildings and enjoy hors d'oeuvres, drinks, and wines; try their luck at games; dance to live music by the Kaleb McIntire Band; and participate in a silent auction with amazing prizes. We will also offer a delicious BBQ dinner, provided by the Wichita Wagonmasters. The funds raised at Cowtown Hootenanny support programming at Old Cowtown Museum and the Board of Trustee’s nearly 20,000-piece permanent artifact collection of textiles, furnishings, tools, furniture, machinery, farming equipment, and art. Old Cowtown Museum's collections reflect aspects of life on the frontier in the late 1860s and 1870s. This collection is showcased throughout the 54 historic and recreated buildings at Cowtown located along the banks of the Arkansas River. Our mission is to educate the public regarding the history of the West through interpretation of this time period as a living history museum. Each year, we serve thousands of school children through educational programs as well as programming for adults and families.
