Re-live the Kansas of the pioneer era
The Old Cowtown Museum in Kansas City, Kansas is the perfect place if you want to take a trip back in time to the frontier days of cowboys, ranchers, and wagon-bound settlers. If any of you remember playing the game “Oregon Trail” as a kid, then the Old Cowtown Museum will definitely make you feel nostalgic! The 17-acre park is full of frontier-style buildings (around half of which are original 19th-century constructions), actors taking on rolls like settlers, cooks, and blacksmiths, and a petting zoo/farm with barnyard animals. It’s a great place to take the kids who’ll not only enjoy playing cowboy and interacting with the re-enactors, but who’ll learn something in the process!
