Boot Hill was commonly used for Old West cemeteries, given the number of people who died violent deaths “with their boots on”. The Bo...

This attraction was founded in 1926 when the city acquired a pair of black bears and raccoons to put on show. The zoo’s enclosures were scattered around the park until moved to one site in the 1980s, and this was expanded a decade later. Accredited by the A...
Dodge City’s oldest building still in its original location is a fine limestone house built in 1881 for John Mueller. He was a bootmaker by trade, and was such a success that he invested in a saloon and soon became a cattle rancher. Things had turned sour for him by 1890, as he lost his cattle in a blizzard and his boot shop burned down. Returning ...
