Since
July of 1998, when El Dorado, Kansas was designated a Main
Street City, El Dorado Main Street has assisted the community
and many businesses in making Downtown
El Dorado the Heartbeat of the Community, attracting
not only the local citizenry, but tourists, patrons of the arts
and other visitors from a four-county area and beyond for shopping,
dining, festivals and entertainment.
Charming red brick-like sidewalks, period
light poles, planters full of flowers and benches lining the streets invite you to experience
Downtown El Dorado.
On
October 14, 2006, Governor Kathleen Sebelius proclaimed El Dorado
a City of the Arts, the only town in Kansas to bear
such a distinction. During your stay, take some time to enjoy
our fine downtown art galleries including the famous Coutts
Memorial Museum of Art, Circle
Gallery & Frame Shop and Bill Walton's Gallery.
Downtown
restaurants and cafés offer many possibilities for your dining
pleasure, whether it's a full meal you desire or simply a snack,
and our many upscale and sophisticated specialty retail establishments offer a variety of
shopping adventures. Click here to see all that Downtown El Dorado has to offer.
Relax
in one of our cheerful outdoor courtyards. Sunshine Court
is a place to enjoy flowers, visit with a friend or eat a sack
or picnic lunch. Sculpture Plaza offers that plus the
10x25 foot original ceramic tile mural Glory of the Hills,
by Phil Epp and Terry Corbett, depicting the scenic Flinthills.
In addition, you will find there two of our many outdoor sculptures:
In Flight and His Brand.
