The exhibit puts the spotlight not only on guns, but on other artifacts, including knives, badges and handcuffs. Boot Hill is also looking to expand and remodel the cemetery with new landscaping and headstones, Pankratz said. Visitors are entertained as well as informed during a visit to the museum. This year's show is an all-new production, adding new songs and acts. There is also live interpretation of daily life in the Old West.
Visitors can see the working print shop functioning or hop aboard the stagecoach for a ride.
And those who want a record of their time in the Old West can get their photo taken in Western attire at the Old Dodge Photo Parlor. The gift shop also carries books, tapes, jewelry and souvenirs for every age and price range. It has expanded its book selection and also features Made in Kansas food items, such as pancake and corn bread mixes as well as jellies. And don't forget the sarsaparilla in the Long Branch. The museum has undergone a face-lift.
