We have lived in Kansas for over 30 years and have always talked about visiting Dodge City, but somehow we never made the trip. We planned our recent trip to Ruidoso, New Mexico so that we would be able to stop overnight in Dodge City, Kansas.

A Stop at Boot Hill
We went into the museum and paid our entrance fees and then took our time and enjoyed Boot Hill. We walked around, looked at the tombstones, and then toured all of the buildings that were open. It was like stepping back in history and we could imagine the gunfights and killings of old Dodge City. Of course, we didn't see anything about Matt Dillon, Miss Kitty, Doc, and Chester, since they are fictitious characters, but we couldn't help thinking of them during the visit.
