"Saving the past for the future."
In 1974, a group of visionaries founded the Wichita County Heritage Society with the goal of saving the heritage of Wichita County. From its inception, the Society has striven to be a strong influence in the community in the name of historic preservation. While our accomplishments are many, such as the Kemp-Kell Depot (Route Building), the Littlest Skyscraper, and the Holt Hotel, our future goals are just as great. Preservation starts at home. It demands perseverance, passion, and patience. Wichita County Heritage Society and its membership are focused on excellence in all of these areas.
The Purpose of the Society is to promote the heritage of Wichita County through preservation and restoration.
