Wichita celebrated its 154th birthday Sunday. The city was established in 1870, just three months after Sedgwick County was recognized. The Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum celebrated by having an ice cream social, live music, and free admission for people to experience and check out the exhibits. The museum is also celebrating 85 years of existence. “It’s the only museum that’s focused on our local history in a broad sense. And that’s the history back to the founding of the county and right after the Civil War. And here we are, 154 years later, still working on it.” Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum Director Eric Cale said.
