007 - EVP in train station and telegraph office of Cowtown Museum

Home

The Historic Cowtown Museum, also known as Old Cowtown Museum, features a Wichita & Southwestern Depot which also houses a telegraph office.

Train Station (Depot)...

The Wichita & Southwestern Depot represents the critical role the railroad played in the development and growth of Wichita during the 1870s.
The first passenger train arrived in Wichita in 1872, signaling a new era of connectivity and prosperity for the city.
The building itself is a wood-framed depot built in 1887 in Anness, Kansas, and was donated to the Museum in 1954.
Its architecture is typical of Santa Fe depots of the era, featuring details like 12-light windows, roof brackets, and wide overhanging eaves.
The depot is situated on a recreated stretch of rail line, providing an authentic setting.
Santa Fe officials contributed original rails and old-style "grasshopper" spikes to reconstruct the track.
The railroad company also donated a handcar and a boxcar to be displayed near the station.

Telegraph Office...

The depot houses a telegraph office, highlighting the importance of communication in the late 19th century.
The telegraph allowed messages to be relayed via electrical impulses in Morse code, a system of "dots" and "dashes".
This communication tool, combined with the railroad, was crucial to Wichita's economic development and growth.

This EVP was recorded in train station and telegraph office of Cowtown Museum.
