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.
