Things To Do
Keeper of the Plains
"The Keeper of the Plains is a 44-foot tall steel sculpture standing at the point where the Big and Little Arkansas rivers join together in downtown Wichita." This cool and historic Native American sculpture is a Witchita icon and also has a "ring of fire" that lights up for 15 minutes almost every night at 7 in the winter/fall!
