Experience the sights, sounds and stories of the American West during Chisholm Trail Days: Longhorns & Legends, Aug. 15-16 at historic Old Abilene Town. According to the Abilene Convention & Visitors Bureau, held during America’s 250th anniversary year, the two-day celebration features longhorns, Wild Bill Hickok, live entertainment and hands-on activities that celebrate Abilene’s role as the end of the Chisholm Trail. “There’s no better place to experience the story of the Chisholm Trail than the community where it ended,” said Julie Roller Weeks, director of the Abilene Convention & Visitors Bureau. “Families can watch longhorns, learn about Wild Bill Hickok and explore the Kansas cowtown that helped shape the American West.” Chisholm Trail Days offers one of the most authentic opportunities in Kansas to experience the history of the American West where it happened.
