The Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum has a surprise gift for fans of local history and old photos depicting Wichita’s past. The museum’s staff has for about three years been quietly working on a hefty “heirloom” book, meant as a celebration of the city’s 150th birthday in 2020, and it will release the book on Saturday — just in time for holiday gift giving. It’s called “A Spell Created: A Sesquicentennial History of Wichita and Sedgwick County.” The hard-cover book, which is 10×14 inches, has 356 pages and weighs six and a half pounds. It costs $95 and will go on sale Saturday after a special book release event scheduled for 3 to 5 p.m at the museum, 204 S. Main.
