The Wild West lives again in Coffeyville this weekend. Dalton Defenders Days celebrates that fateful day of October 5, 1892 when the Dalton Gang was defeated in Coffeyville Kansas. The Dalton Gang attempted to rob two banks and all but one of them was shot and killed. Dalton Defenders Days celebrates the four towns people who gave their lives defending Coffeyville.

Train rides on the Heart of the Heartlands train are part of the festivities. Many other activities are planned and you can view the complete schedule by visiting http://coffeyvillechamber.org/m/events/view/Dalton-Defenders-Days
