Ford County, Kansas
Ford County sits in southwest Kansas, famous for its cowtown history and wind farms. Dodge City, with about 34,000 folks, still plays up its Wild West past.
The Boot Hill Museum is a must-see. The place goes all out for Dodge City Days in late July, complete with a real cattle drive down Main Street.
Wind turbines cover the landscape. They power half the county on a good day. For a taste of the new West, hit up Boot Hill Casino. And if you’re into birds, Ford County Lake is a hidden spot for migratory species.
