Visit Wichita

Wichita, the heart of the country, is centrally located in Kansas. The vibrant city exudes friendliness. From the locals you meet at the 50-plus museums and attractions to the 1,200-plus eateries, kindness greets you at every turn. 

The Keeper of the Plains, a 44-foot sculpture, looms tall with outstretched hands and is symbolic of the community’s Midwest traditions. He was a gift to the citizens in 1974, and today he gives the community and those who visit it a sense of unity, belonging, and peace.
