Boot Hill Museum in Dodge City, Kansas, centers on the history of the Old West, especially Dodge City’s own frontier past, through exhibits and staged entertainments such as gunfights and saloon shows. Named for nearby Boot Hill Cemetery, it draws on the frontier legend of men who “died with their boots on,” linking the city to the broader mythology of the American West. Its holdings include more than 20,000 artifacts and over 200 original guns, and the complex also houses the Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame. Despite fires and rebuilding, it remains a major heritage attraction and a focal point in Dodge City’s tourism and Heritage District plans.
