Coffeyville Kansas and Montgomery County Kansas * Local Attractions

Through future preservation and restoration, the Midland Theatre and adjacent Alamo Building will provide a multipurpose facility that will accommodate the public with usage for theatre, movies, concerts,
and meeting rooms.

Constructed in 1928, at a cost of nearly $80,000, the Midland Theatre was a marvel of architectural construction. Constructed of brick tile and steel, the 50x140 structure became a unique feature of the Coffeyville area. With seating for 1,200, the stage was designed for both vaudeville and motion pictures. An orchestra pit equipped
with a $15,000 Wicks pipe organ was also a unique feature.

The Independence Historical Museum, the Independence Science & Technology Center, Neewollah and the William Inge Theatre Festival at Independence Community College are prime cultural attractions. Inge, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, was born and raised in Independence.

The Elk City Reservoir, located 5 miles northwest of Independence, offers a wide variety of outdoor recreation such as hunting, fishing, camping, boating, swimming, bird watching and hiking.

Prairie Days Festival is held at the Little House on the Prairie, 13 miles southwest of Independence, KS. The reconstructed cabin sits on the original site where Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family lived from 1869 to 1871. Laura Ingalls Wilder is the author of nine children's books referred to as the Little House Series. The television program, "Little House on the Prairie," is based on Laura's books.
