Meade Attractions
Meade (pop. 1,700) has deep artesian wells that contribute to the green tree-lined streets and flourishing farms and ranches.
The Dalton Gang created a hideout in Meade. They built an escape tunnel from the home of their sister, Eva Whipple, to the barn some 95 feet away where their horses could carry them away undetected by the law. The barn houses a museum in the loft which contains a collection of western items.
The Meade County Historical Society Museum features exhibits depicting the history of the area. Highlights include a one-room schoolhouse, a church, a sod house, a general store and a blacksmith shop.
