Built in 1906, the 3-story, 16 room mansion is located on a 20-acre estate. Acquired in 1973 from the daughter of the original owner and builder, it is furnished with the original furniture, carpets, china and silver. The Kansas Visitor Information center is located here.

See mementos of the Dalton Raid and early day history of Coffeyville. Also included in the museum are Walter "Big Train" Johnson and Wendelll Wilkie displays. Open daily.

 

Walk through the alley where the Daltons rode and met their death. See the old City Jail where the Daltons were "laid out" after the raid.

The graves of four of the five Dalton gang are located here. Also the graves of Charles Brown and George Cubine, two of the four defenders killed in the raid, are located here.

 

Located in the Perkins Building, the Condon Bank was one of the two banks robbed during the Dalton Raid. Today this building has been restored and is listed as a National Historical Landmark.

See the many murals located throughout the town which depict the early history of Coffeyville.

Visit the center for the arts and the Terminal Art Gallery, both downtown, to view a variety of entertaining and interesting art displays.

Coffeyville has several buildings listed on the National Register of Historic Buildings, including the Brown Mansion, Perking Buildings, site of the infamous DaltonRaid; Terminal Building, which now houses an art gallery, restaurant and offices; and Midland Theater, built in 1928, where you can still go to see a first-run movie.
