This 1 1/2 story,
three bay log structure is considered the first house in
Wichita and was constructed of cottonwood trees by Darius
Munger, an early resident and founding father of the
city. The house sits on a foundation of course rubble
stone with mortar consisting of clam shells, sand, water
and buffalo hair. Built
in 1868, the vernacular style Folk House was relocated
three times and has served as a hotel, post office, hall
of justice and community center.
