Hole in the Wall Tour
Hoofprints of the Past Museum’s annual Hole in the Wall Tour will take place on Saturday, June 13.
The tour traces the steps of the Outlaw Era from the origins of the Johnson County War through the famous Hole in the Wall Fight.
The tour begins in Kaycee at the Nolen ranch site, where the Hole in the Wall gang hid from a posse after the Wilcox Train Robbery. The tour then follows the Old Barnum Road to the location where Kid Curry of the Hole in the Wall Gang shot Sheriff Deane before traveling into the famous Hole in the Wall valley. Here, the numerous stories regarding local outlaws are related by knowledgeable authors and local historians. Tour stops include the overlook of the Hall Cabin where Nate Champion was first ambushed; Hole in the Wall valley, the homestead site of Alex Ghent, horse trader and friend of the outlaws; the real Hole in the Wall site, where a picnic lunch is enjoyed; before finally traveling to the Hole in the Wall Gap on the Red Wall.
The tour, which is a fundraiser for the museum, costs $110 per person. This includes a continental breakfast, a nice lunch, and a day in Hole in the Wall country with experts who can point out key locations.
Even if you are not a history buff, you will enjoy beautiful scenery and a unique experience that few have the opportunity to share.
Register for the tour here.
