The iconic western town of Dodge City has been recognized as One of the Most Welcoming Towns in Kansas by World Atlas, a leading global publisher of travel and serving more than 165 million annual readers. Although once known for saloons, gambling halls, and gunfights, Dodge City has transformed into a peaceful, hospitable community that captivates visitors with its rich history and small-town charm. Nestled on the high plains in southwest Kansas, Dodge City offers travelers the opportunity to experience the spirit of the Old West. Must-see stops include the Boot Hill Museum, the Santa Fe Trail Rut Site, the Home of Stone Museum, and the historic downtown district lined with shops, restaurants, and the Trail of Fame. Annual events like Dodge City Days, an Old-Fashioned 4th of July celebration, the Ford County Fair, and Christmas in Dodge City draw visitors from across the country year-round. “We’re proud that Dodge City’s Midwestern charm and our community’s warmth shines through for visitors,” said Megan Welsh, director of Dodge City Convention and Visitors Bureau. “In Dodge City, we have embraced and preserved our Cowboy heritage for more than 150 years. We invite all travelers to experience our town’s hospitality and special brand of Western culture.” For more information about planning a trip or relocating to Dodge City, go to www.visitdodgecity.org.
