Review:
Wichita has been an important transportation hub since the late 1860s, and at The Great Plains Transportation Museum, visitors can learn about the important role the railway has played in this part of the country. There are a number of significant locomotives on display, including two historic steam locomotives and a wooden caboose built in 1904, and there is also an exhibit filled with various railway-related artifacts. Once a year, the museum also hosts a special event known as the Kansas Railfest, which features live music, local vendors, children's activities, and steam train rides through Union Square.
