We're taking you on a time-traveling expedition to the heart of Kansas history with our special guest, Lynn Johnson, Director of the Boot Hill Museum. Lynn not only takes us through the riveting development of the museum, from its inception by the Dodge City J.C.s in 1947 to its ongoing expansion but also immerses us in the rich tapestry of Dodge City's past. The museum's story is as intriguing as the exhibits it houses. From a buffalo hunt exhibit to a push-button reenactment of historical figures and even recreating the 1877 cattle drive environment, the museum spares no detail in bringing the city's history back to life.
Ready to plan your visit? Lynn gives you all the essential details - the opening hours, ticket prices, and the all-inclusive Marshall Pass. Discounts for families and active-duty military personnel also await! To stay in the loop with all the museum's happenings, join their Facebook page and visit their website. The Boot Hill Museum isn't just about history; it's about experiencing it. Get ready for a journey that takes you thousands of years back in time, right from the founding of Dodge City to the present!
