The Cowley County Historical Society Museum as well as Winfield Main Street are planning to have large prints made of historical pictures of some of the downtown historic buildings. We plan to put these in the windows (with the businesses’ permission) during the month of May and leave them in for the rest of the year. On the day of the parade (Saturday, June 3rd), CCHSM will have a few reenactors of past business owners, historical figures, and founding townsfolk at some locations downtown directly following the grand parade at 11:00 PM. Parade attendees will then participate in a walking tour of the historic downtown buildings.

We are looking for a few businesses to sponsor a community meal, or parts of a meal, during this time. If you are interested in doing this, please contact the chamber at 620-221-2420 or email Megan at admin@winfieldchamber.org.

We would also like to see downtown businesses decorate their storefronts in a festive way to commemorate Winfield’s 150th Anniversary. More on this to come.

The Cowley County Historical Society Museum has collected videos from the various class reunions that have taken place throughout the years as well as collected some oral histories from Winfield residents. They are seeking a volunteer to put together clips from these and create a special video that commemorates Winfield. If you are skilled in video editing and would be willing to help, contact Cindy Goertz at cgoertz19@gmail.com.
