About Boot Hill Museum

Boot Hill Museum tells the story of Dodge City's frontier years, from outlaws and saloon workers to lawmen like Wyatt Earp. The complex holds more than 20,000 artifacts, including over 200 original guns, set around a reconstructed Old West town. It takes its name from the Boot Hill Cemetery at its northeast corner. In summer you can add gunfight reenactments, a country dinner and the Long Branch Variety Show, and the Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame is on site.
