Boot Hill Museum has been home to the Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame since 2002. Each year since then, five or more legendary cowboys or cowgirls who have contributed to the western heritage lifestyle in Kansas have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Each inductee personifies the cowboy ideals of integrity, honesty, and self- sufficiency.
The Kansas Cowboy Hall of Fame Committee recently announced its 2026 inductees, including Jeff Davidson, a cowboy historian from Eureka, and William Eugene Lowery, a working cowboy from Greenwood County. Lowery is receiving the honor posthumously.
