Whether you've lived here your whole life or just love to visit, enjoying a tour in Kansas is a great way to see the state in a whole new way and learn about what makes this such a special place. One of the most unique places you can go in Kansas is Dodge City. Today, this is a bustling city of around 27,000 residents, but it wasn't too long ago that it was infamous as one of the busiest towns in the western frontier. Today, the town leans heavily into its Wild West roots, and if you'd like to learn more about this special place, consider a self-guided walking tour of Dodge City's Boot Hill Museum.

Back in the 1800s, this was a bustling town that was full of gunslinging cowboys, gamblers, and more.

The town was along a trail for cattle drivers, and with these cattle came dance halls, red light districts, and outlaws. Needless to say, it wasn't exactly a kid-friendly place back then!

Today, Dodge City's Boot Hill Museum celebrates the history of this special town by maintaining a reconstructed area known as Front Street.

This historically accurate road shows you what life would have been like in the time that Wyatt Earp lived here.

While you're in the area, make sure to catch the live entertainment! The nation's longest-running variety show takes place here, and you can also see historical reenactors playing out gunfights and showdowns.

A walking tour of Dodge City's Boot Hill Museum is such a fun activity that will make you feel like you stepped back in time to Wild West days.
