“Gunsmoke Trail” Launched
Get the heck into Kansas is the message four Kansas communities are sharing. This week, the Abilene, Dodge City, Hays and Wichita Convention and Visitors Bureaus rolled out their new “Gunsmoke Trail.”
“Gunsmoke” is a television western drama series based in and around Dodge City, Kansas, during the settlement of the American West. “Gunsmoke” is the longest-running western in television history, originally running from 1955 to 1975 totaling 635 episodes. It was the most-watched show from 1957 to 1961. Each episode follows the life of Marshal Matt Dillon as he attempts to keep peace in and around the city.
