Historical Plaza Walking Tour Stop 4

Cowboys could get the latest in hand-made boots at the sign of the big red boot! John Mueller, (standing in front of the doorway next to the seated children) opened for business at this location in the early 1870's. Texans, just in off the trail, could get fitted with a pair of boots custom-made to their liking. Red tops with Texas stars or crescent moons were popular. When the cattle trade moved west. Mueller moved to Dodge City where he eventually entered into the cattle business. His cattle were easily identified by his "Big Boot" brand. Today, his Dodge City home is the Home of Stone Museum.
