Still Roaming Wichita, KS...
One of the most breathtaking and memorable tourist attractions in Wichita is the Keeper of the Plains, a 44-foot-tall steel sculpture that is most impressive at night.
The statue stands on sacred land, where the Big and Little Arkansas rivers converge.
The Allen House...
Elsie—the wife of governor, senator, and newspaper publisher Henry J. Allen—commissioned Wright to design the couple’s home in College Hill, a newly developed residential neighborhood of Wichita.
The Kansas Aviation Museum is a handsome Art Deco structure. Originally built as the terminal for Wichita’s municipal airport, it was named simply the Administration Building.
It has since taken on a variety of uses and has played a pivotal role in Wichita’s growing importance in the aviation industry.

Now the Kansas Aviation Museum, the building houses exhibits of the history of Wichita’s aviation industry. The tarmac on the north side of the building displays many kinds of aircraft manufactured in Wichita.
