Did you know there’s actually a castle here in Wichita?! 😱 Allow us to introduce you to Campbell Castle!
Since it was actually known by several names, here’s a brief rundown: - Built from 1886-1888 by the Colonel Burton Harvey Campbell, he called it Campbell Castle - In 1960, Maye Crumm purchased the property and began to call it Crumm Castle. It also briefly housed the Belle Carter High School during this time which Crumm ran. - In 1994, Terry and Paula Lowry bought and renovated the home into a bed and breakfast, The Castle Inn Riverside. - While we were unable to find the exact information online, it appears that the bed and breakfast may now be closed.
