Coffeyville's past includes some Old West history
that has been the subject of movies and documentaries: the Dalton Gang Raid. Today, you can visit the actual site and tour the restored Perkins Building in addition to the Dalton Defenders Museum and the Brown Mansion.
    
   
As early as 1803, this was home to the Osage Indians. In the early 1880s, Coffeyville was known as Cow Town because of its use as a shipping point for cattle herds. It was originally an Indian trading post established by Colonel James A. Coffey. It thrived and soon a town was laid out around the trading post and named Coffeyville in his honor.

Coffeyville has many hand painted murals depicting the community's early day history. Rich in color, accurate in history, the murals, painted by the late Don Sprague, transport a person back to a time when bank robbers rode through the dusty streets of Coffeyville. 
     
In the last 30 years of the 19th century, it steadily grew and flourished as a trading center and one of the most important grain and flour milling points to the Central West.
  
Two local brothers created a flying sensation, and a man named Walter "Big Train" Johnson left his mark as a legend in baseball. Scenes include Chief Black Dog, the Interurban, Aviation History, and Coffeyville as it looked when the Daltons rode into town.
