The story of the Munger House and its survival parallels that of the city of Wichita. Each sprang up in the middle of an unsettled wilderness and prospered. From the humble beginnings to the endurance through time, this house mirrors the city of Wichita itself, and its story lives on. For its last 67 years the Munger House has stood at Cowtown. The house was carefully moved to the museum grounds and restored on site. It was one of the original four buildings of Cowtown and the major building of interest at the museum. The Munger House has seen two major renovations during its time at the museum; the first happened in 1984, and the second occurred in 1998. Through it all, the Munger House has maintained its importance to Cowtown and the city of Wichita.
