First Horseshoe Tournament

Bronson, KS | Bourbon County

A small blue sign on the east side of town tells you that Bronson was home to the first horseshoe pitching tournament in the world! Although not the same horseshoe pits as those in the 1909 tournament, the pits in City Park on State Street welcome you to bring your own horseshoes and play.
