This one-time cattle town turned modern, booming city, is where the spirit of the Old West lives on. To get a feel of the early pioneer days, visit the recreated village at the Old Cowtown Museum. For a slightly more eccentric experience, visit the Museum of Ancient Treasures, which has everything from a baseball signed by Joe DiMaggio to a shrunken head. Wichita stays up when the sun goes down: there's nightlife, culture, karaoke and cuisine for all tastes.
