A River Sorta Runs Through It
January 22 at 12 PM – 1PM
Wichita’s relationship with the Arkansas River is a long, complicated one. From the days when it was a trade corridor and meeting ground to the city’s waste drain to a recreation hub, the Arkansas River has been a defining character in the city’s story. Wichita has loved and ignored and even abused one of its most signature features. Here’s a chance to talk about that complicated interaction.
