Set off on a hunt for fossils, enjoy lake-based activities, visit the Amish and pursue your higher calling at the University of Iowa all within easy reach of Iowa City.
This is a museum of western history that is also a reconstruction of Dodge City in the late 1800s, back when "Get out of Dodge" had real meaning. It was a rough town and this museum doesn't skimp on its reenactments. You'll walk down the boardwalk and in and out of the rebuilt buildings, but this is more than exhibits and recorded audio-visual. Don't miss the gunfights and the stagecoach rides.
