Yes, it’s still there. But it’s also just a regular neighborhood and the neighbors get frustrated when people play tourist (can’t blame them). Keep that in mind if you go, it’s easy enough to find the address though.

ETA: it’s also a private residence of someone now, from what I can tell. Probably best to skip it.

The family justice center will work to either place her and her child in a DV shelter or if there is no space available help her with the cost of a hotel room. They can also help with Orders of Protection, child support, and legal concerns related to custody, divorce, and leases.

There are the Jordan Creek Tunnels, aka the Vampire Tunnels. You can schedule a tour with The Watershed Committee, I believe.

Then there's Winoka Lodge aka the Girl Scout camp where three girls were raped and murdered. I don't know much about that one, but maybe someone else does. Probably not something you should go poking around.

The shootout was on the square between Wild Bill Hickok and Davis Tutt over a pocket watch lost in a poker game. There is a marker showing where Wild Bill stood and it has a diagram of the shootout.

As far as I know it's the only historical case of a movie-style stand-and-draw type duel, it's fairly famous.
