I left Coffeyville, Kansas on Friday on the way to Colorado.; however, the weather had other ideas for me. The wind had been gusting up to 45 miles per hour for two days. After driving for a few hours, I was worn out from fighting the wind. Even with the swaybar hitch, the wind really made the camper sway.
With high winds predicted for several more days, I decided to stay in Wichita until they passed. I found a great campground just outside Wichita, 4 Mile Creek Resort. I settled in and was ready to explore.
The first place I visited was The Old Cowtown Museum. The weather was sunny and a great day to be outside.
Old Cowtown is a living history museum that lets you immerse yourself in the sights, sounds and activities common to a Midwestern cattle town. You can experience life off the Chisholm Trail between 1865- 1880.
This post will focus on one of the homes in the town & the farm. I will have a second post on the businesses and stores.
The Murdock House
Devore Farm & Smith Farmhouse
Hope you enjoy and I will part 2 tomorrow.
