Located in the western part of the state, Dodge City was an important stop on the Santa Fe Trail and was once one of the most famous frontier towns in America. At its peak, it was infamous for embodying "Wild West" lawlessness, earning it the nickname "The Wickedest Little City In America." Visitors can explore historic sites such as the Boot Hill Museum, the Ford County Courthouse, and the Mueller-Schmidt House, known locally as the "Home of Stone."
