Wichita’s Old Cowtown could see its funding cut by more than half a million dollars.

The city is looking at cutting the majority of funding for cowtown museum in 2020.

The budget for that year is calling for no operation budget which is about $700,000 annually.

Museum supporters say the cuts would be detrimental to the museum’s future.

“They would only pay for maintenance, we would not be able to run programs, we wouldn’t be able to be open, it would only be preserving buildings, it would be a graveyard for history,” says Cowtown volunteer Dakota Bennett.

Wichita Mayor Jeff Longwell says the city is looking at ways to fund the museum and meetings will planned over the next year.
