The Sunflower State blends rolling prairie, Western drama and city attractions.

Boot Hill Museum and Front Street

Once known as the wildest town in the West, Dodge City (population: 28,000) connects legend and lore at museums and rodeos. Stop at Boot Hill Museum and Front Street for a drink in the Long Branch Saloon, gunfights by the boardwalk, a walk through the Boot Hill cemetery, nightly variety shows, and exhibits on cowboys, gunslingers and lawmen.
