Wild West Delano self-guided ghost & red-light-district audio walk
Before it was a brunch district, Delano was a lawless cowtown of saloons, gambling and brothels with no sheriff — the turf of the 1873 Rowdy Joe Lowe vs. Red Beard saloon gunfight. A free narrated phone tour ('Wild West Delano' by Wichita History Walk) walks you past the old red-light haunts, the Chisholm Trail marker, and the Douglas Avenue bridge where it all went down.
The move: Load the free Wild West Delano audio tour, walk Douglas Avenue after dark sharing headphones, and pause at the marker where Red Beard caught his fatal bullet before ducking into a Delano bar to debrief.
