Boot Hill Museum in Dodge City, Kansas, is one of the top visitor attractions in the country for experiencing the 'Old West'.
The museum was recognised by U.S. magazine 'True West' which annually ranks institutions that most effectively "Keep the Old West alive throughout the nation and beyond".
Boot Hill Museum tells the story of early Dodge City along Front Street.
The area's history dates back to the Native Americans who thrived off the land and the buffalo, while the establishment of the Santa Fe Trail brought settlers to the area.
The arrival of the U.S. Army prompted the building of Fort Dodge and soon to follow was the establishment of a rough and rowdy cattle town known as Dodge City.
The museum is located on the original site of Boot Hill Cemetery and offers gunfight reenactments.
There is also a Cowboy Hall of Fame honouring legendary Kansas cowboys.
