Run by the students, the Lowell D. Holmes Museum of Anthropology is located in the Neff Hall of Wichita State University. Dedicated to the Asmat tribe of New Guinea, the facility has one of the largest collection of Asmat art in the country. Different artefacts and artworks are preserved and displayed here with care, each of which is associated with a ritual or myth of the tribe. Traditional and cultural artefacts from other tribes from around the globe also adorn the walls of the museum. You can visit the facility free of charge to explore rare cultures and admire their art.
Featuring several lakes where you can fish, Sedgwick County State Park is a must-visit for fishing aficionados. Even if fishing isn't your thing, there's plenty to do for the whole family. Hike or bike along a trail, taking in the sights of wildlife. If you're into sports, head to the softball field or basketball court for a game. In the winter, the sledding hill is tons of fun!
The C.N. James Cabin is a unique one. Built in 1868, this cabin was initially a post office, school and a general store before. After 1939, this place was opened as a museum by the Augusta Historical Society. A lot of artifacts and exhibits are present inside which resemble the lifestyle and culture of the pioneers of that era. A cabin which has stood the test of time, this place is definitely worth a visit.
