History of Heritage Square
The Square was the site of the Central Fire Station built in 1908. Twenty-five years later, the building was renovated as the Central Police Station, and then finally razed in 1975 to make way for Heritage Square. Heritage Square was a gift to the City by the Junior League of Wichita in celebration of their semicentennial. Heritage Square served as a complementary companion campus to the Historical Museum and was rededicated with improvements in 2016.
