At the Great Plains Transportation Museum, history doesn’t sit behind glass it lives, breathes, and rolls forward. Through restoration, education, and community events, we preserve the legacy of railroading across the Great Plains.

​

We invite businesses and community leaders to partner with us through three signature events and year-round engagement opportunities designed to deliver meaningful visibility and impact.

​

When you sponsor the Museum, you:

• Align your brand with preservation, education, and regional heritage

• Connect with families, professionals, and community leaders across Wichita and beyond

• Gain exposure through high-profile events and targeted promotion

• Support hands-on learning experiences for future generations
