Hidden Treasures in Wichita

There's nothing quite like finding something that seems to be uniquely yours. No matter how many other people may already know about it or how public your new discovery may be, it will always be your very own hidden treasure. Shops and businesses that can be considered hidden treasures abound in Wichita, and even though finding them is half the fun, here is a good starting point for your very own treasure hunt.

Sometimes the best hidden treasures aren't the ones you see, they are the ones you get. Nowhere is that more true than at Fabulous Salon and Gifts. Aside from offering gifts for all occasions, the establishment specializes in hair, nail and massage services that will help you to soothe yourself amid the busy and sometimes chaotic schedule you keep. So if you stop by Fabulous Salon and Gifts to get something for someone else, indulge yourself and book a massage; you'll be glad you did.

While exploring the city, be sure to take time out to visit a true symbol of Wichita. You'll find the Keeper of the Plains monument in the heart of the city, where the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers meet. The statue was erected in 1974 to commemorate the United States Bicentennial.

Take a stroll down Douglas Avenue, between Main & Topeka and look at the 31 bronze sculptures that line the way. These statues were created by artist Georgia Gerber and placed along the avenue in the late 1990s. On your walk, detour just two blocks over to Naftzger Memorial Park and check out the Carrie A. Nation Fountain. The fountain is settled among flowers and shrubs, serving as a beautiful ornament for this Wichita park. We couldn't keep these delights a secret for long.
