The Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty re-enactment compresses 300 years of history into two hours of entertainment and education.

In a natural amphitheater, near the actual site of the council where the Medicine River (named by the Kiowa for its medicinal waters) and Elm Creek flow together, the re-enactment takes place and peace will come with time to the prairie.

Don’t miss the annual Kansas Championship Ranch Rodeo, featuring working cowboys competing in events much like the day work on their ranches. The Cowboy Trappings and Trade show and the Ranch Horse Show will make the event unforgettable!
