Walk down the yellow brick road…
Be part of the story as a Dorothy tour guide (or Auntie Em if Dorothy is unavailable) takes you on a tour of her house, a farmhouse built in 1907 which has been carefully restored and furnished to reproduce the warmth of the farmhouse from the movie. See the type of furnishings and utensils Auntie Em would have used and toys Dorothy would have played with as a little girl.
Then, skip down the yellow brick path to the Land of Oz, a 5,000 square foot display of scenes from the movie. Start in Kansas where Professor Marvel has his wagon and Mrs. Gulch rides her bicycle and then turn a corner into the magical land of Oz where the munchkins sing and dance and Glynda appears as if by magic. Journey down the yellow brick road through the cornfield and the haunted forest, by the witch’s castle, all the way to the Wizard.
At the end of the tour, view Oz memorabilia including the original model of Dorothy’s House used in the tornado scene of the 1939 movie. The munchkin room is a delight with little dresses and shoes with many pictorial accounts of the munchkins and their careers.
A bronze statue of Dorothy and Toto graces the grounds. Visitors can push a button to hear Judy Garland sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” or “Follow the Yellow Brick Road.” A wall behind the statue memorializes the names of the many young ladies who have worked as Dorothy tour guides over the years.

How Liberal became the official Home of Dorothy Gale
After returning from an insurance convention in San Francisco in 1978, Liberal resident Max Zimmerman shared a waiter’s insight of how he perceived Kansas with the community. When people think of Kansas … they think of the Wizard of OZ! At the time there was no place in Kansas known as the home of Dorothy. Sparks of interest in Liberal becoming Dorothy’s official home did become reality till 1981. Oliver Brown a Liberal resident knew of a house that remembered Dorothy’s house. This was the former house of Robert and Leree Rice. Volunteers moved the house to the Coronado museum grounds where it was transformed into a replica of the house shown in the movie and recognized by the then governor John Carlin and the official home of Dorothy Gale.
