What a great little town. Bill and I both grew up on Gun Smoke mostly because of grandfathers that watched it. We will definitely have to take that trolley tour. So much information. What a great stop.
I enjoyed your video showing and telling the history of Dodge City, this is far the best video. I’m from Garden and I was raised in Chanute Kansas. I have many family members throughout Kansas. My dad said mainly from Salina Kansas and the area and my mom side from Dodge City and many small towns around Doge City. I could share so many good time Dodge city like going to Boot Hill and watching reactants of gunfights and spending almost the whole day hanging out at Boot Hill, my Grandma at the time only lived a couple blocks from Boot Hill. I can’t wait until your next video sharing the history of Doge City. Like I said I have many family members from throughout Kansas, it would take me about an hour or so to share all small towns and sharing the best time of visiting Doge City 😅
Thanks for watching Diane! We appreciate it. We loved our stop in Dodge City as we love western culture and the rich history of places like this. That must have been exciting to hear those stories your family was able to share. I, Wilson, am a history teacher and love places like this. We appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave a comment. We’d love for you to hit that subscribe button if you haven’t already. Thanks ~Wilson & Kelli
Hello I grew up in dodge. I could tell you some stories also. The building they call a brewery used to be the police and fire station along with a traffic court. The street they now call gunsmoke used to be called walnut st. and wyatt earp blvd used to be called chestnut st. I remember when they pave the main road of chestnut through dodge. The cattle yard at certains times of the year used to stink up the town. It was a sad day when the city fathers decided to tear out the old original part of dodge which was called front street. They made a 4 lane highway through there. Those were the original buildings. I still remember one of the old buildings had carved in the stone" first baknk of dodge city 1890"
Yes, the bubble appeared right here! That was crazy and at one point I thought the roof would tear, luckily it didn't. Thanks for watching friend! Safe Travels to you too! ~Wilson & Kelli
If you like Gunsmoke, we do to, then you'll like this park and town. It's a very cool western town! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! ~Wilson & Kelli
The kids really enjoyed see the beef operation. We try to take time to educate our kids about how things work and this is one more thing that everyone should know how our food supply works. Thanks for watching! ~Wilson & Kelli
Lol. On the feed lot smell. We get that smell in our rural town a lot. haha. This was really fun. We are big Gunsmoke fans. Ice cream looked awesome. Thanks for sharing. Kent and Tami
Awesome! So we see your last name is Earp...is your husband related to who we're thinking he's related to?? Thanks for watching and commenting. ~Kelli and Wilson
@@OnTheMewve Yes he is. My Sister in Law tracked it back to Warren I believe. His Uncle, retired from the Last Vegas Police Dept and was given the Buntline gun.
Yes it was! We had a great time and the guide was so helpful. Great place to visit if you get the chance. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment friends! ~Wilson & Kelli
I grew up in California and people would ask my last name, I would say Earp like Wyatt. People would just look at me like who's that? Now I live in Colorado and it's better. Got lots of famIly still there in Dodge City, from my Mom's side though. Great video.
I’d be proud of the name! It is sad that so many forget such colorful parts of our history, I’m a history teacher so I’m a little partial to learning the past. We loved our visit.

@@jaylenelittle-redfox12183 that is so kind of you and we will definitely take you up on that. We are in SC but hope to get back that way in another year or so! Thanks! ~Wilson & Kelli
Wyatt Earp is now on rocu, with lots of episodes starring Hugh O’Brien, who had been the youngest drill sergeant in the marines, as he started following his dad around in his marine job, at an early age.
Interesting, we will have to check it out. Thanks for sharing and thanks for checking out the video, we appreciate it and we appreciate you taking the time to comment! ~Wilson & Kelli
@@OnTheMewve Thank you. I like Dodge City but last time I was there the road was a mess. We have a horse trailer RV that is 40 feet long on the box 8 feet over the bed. Needless to say, a few orange cones suffered an early death under the wheels by a trailer.
I live in Washington Manor San Leandro California best climate and close to a bank restaurants and shopping and health services doctors and hospitals I've been sick and they took good care of me no charge my insurance paid and no copay.
Was born in Dodge city in 1956, my parents move down to Arkansas in 1964, so my Mother could be closer to her parents in Ft Smith Arkansas , my daddy took myself and my brother back to Dodge city in 1987 my Daddy died in 1989 so i was glad he took us back to Dodge in 1987 ,the house we grew up in Dodge was close to the Arkansas river
If we make it there we will be glad to! Thanks for checking out our video and channel. We’d love for you to hit that subscribe button if you haven’t yet. Thanks so much! ~Wilson & Kelli
Imagine if it was dark out and you heard a chainsaw start up out there and to top it off your car was broke down. Then the next thing you hear is dueling banjos. Time to ge the hell out of Dodge!
You know, if we had all those things happen at the same time in Dodge City we would run immediately to the nearest cemetery, Boot Hill, because we all know we would be safe there during any horror event! Ha Ha!! Good to see you @mistervacation We appreciate you taking the time to stop by and comment! ~Wilson & Kelli
