Join us for extended hours at the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum as we welcome a special exhibit - Service Beyond Barriers.

Students from the Museum Exhibition class at Wichita State University, under the direction of Holmes Museum of Anthropology Director and Instructor, Rachelle Meinecke, have created an exhibit project entitled Service Beyond Barriers: Bravery and Sacrifice in the Face of Adversity.

This exhibit is a collaboration between The Kansas African American Museum, the Mid-American All Indian Museum, and the Wichita-Sedgwick County Historical Museum. It explores the powerful and often overlooked stories of minority men and women who have served in the military.

In this exhibit, they focus primarily on African Americans, Native Americans, and women. In the spirit of America’s 250th birthday, this exhibit is a reflection on patriotism, sacrifice, and the meaning of service in America. This exhibit honors those who defended a nation that did not always defend them and recognizes their essential role in shaping both military history and the broader American story.

On temporary view in our 2nd Floor-Special Exhibits West Gallery.
