Well CowTown...the name says it all! It's actually a museum in Wichita that wonderfully captures the essence of the 'Old West' in the mid-1800's. There are approximaly 30 buildings that have been moved to the site and restored to how they were during the 1800's, employees dress in period costume, and are walking encyclopedia's about early Wichita history. We enjoyed watching bank robber's being 'gunned down' by a group of angry townswomen, and going into each of the old buildings and learning about their roll's including the pharmacy, the grain elevator, train station, meat market, and our favorite...the saloon! Our favorite quote of the day was from one of the 'townswomen' "Men may have settled the West, but Women civilized it".
We stopped by the Kroger grocery store, Fred Meyer and QFC to us is Dillans here, and got all the things we needed to make up a gigantic pan of enchilladas. We headed home and cooked and enjoyed a great dinner together.
