Kansas Filming Locations:


For once a movie set in Kansas was actually filmed in Kansas.... in Lawrence, Topeka, Valley Falls and Edgerton.

The bank and parade sequences were shot in Valley Falls, Kansas.

The fair where the governor speaks at the opening of the film was shot in Edgerton.

The scene at the fair in the rain was shot in Overbrook, Ks at the Overbrook-Osage County Fair. I was an extra in the fair scene.[Thanks to Tiffany]

The train sequences were shot in a railyard in Topeka.

The main farmhouse scenes were shot at the ranch of a man named Reed Byers in Gardner, Kansas.

One shot was done in Lawrence, when Matt Dillon visits Alan Toy, the reporter tracking him. [Thanks to McGee]

The scene where Matt Dillon walks out of the bar after taking the guys keys was shot in North Topeka on North Kansas Ave. [Thanks to Michael Fox]

At the end of the movie the train scene and the driving on the gravel road scene were filmed along the north side of US 24 Highway between the cities of St. Marys and Rossville. [Thanks to Paul]

The post-office scene where rips his mugshot out of the FBI Most Wanted book is at the Perry, KS Post Office. [Thanks to James]

The scene at the gas station where Doyle says, "Take a deep breath, Wade. Yeah. That's America" was shot in De Soto, KS on Lexington Ave at the J Mart. [Thanks to James]

The scene near the end with the teepees & gas station where Doyle argues with Kyra Sedgwick's character is just north of Lawrence at the intersection of US 24 & 40 [Thanks to James]

The iconic bridge in the movie was in Linwood, KS spanning Stranger Creek. It washed away in a flood in early 2000's. The railroad bridge in the background of those scenes still stands. [Thanks to James]

The cemetery scene where Doyle is on the run and pauses at the angel grave marker is at Mount Sidney Cemetery in Linwood. It is just east of where the bridge was and both are on Golden Road. [Thanks to James]

The scene where Doyle is driving on a highway (43:20), the church-looking building is a one -room schoolhouse called Buck Creek School. It is 6.5 miles north of the teepees on US 24. [Thanks to James]

LX Preview

LX is our radical new locations feature that we've been beavering away on.. For years!

Each location will have it's own page with then/now pictures, maps, StreetView, discovery story and the most detailed explanations on how the location was used. Most importantly, the locations will have a status that shows whether they are verified correct and by whom. We are working with the actual locations managers or other crew where possible. The whole thing will be very interactive and you will, of course, be able to update everything.
