With growing interest in Wyatt Earp and the enduring legacy of the American Old West, the Barton County Chamber of Commerce established the Wyatt Earp Park through the Barton County Chamber Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. The vision was twofold: to celebrate one of Lamar’s most notable historical figures as a draw for tourism, and to create a welcoming community gathering space on the square. Today, Wyatt Earp Park serves as a hub for musical performances, festivals, and local celebrations—bringing people together while preserving a unique part of our town’s history.
The Barton County Chamber is solely responsible for maintaining Wyatt Earp Park. Through ongoing fundraising efforts, private event rentals, and the support of generous donors, the park will continue to fulfill its purpose as both a community gathering space and a tribute to Lamar’s history.
