William Allen White Historic
Museum
👍👍 Before I visited I knew just a few things about White. He was the owner and editor of the Emporia Gazette in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was widely known for some of his editorials ("What's the Matter with Kansas?" etc.). He wrote a wonderful memorial to his young daughter Mary White...

Bazaar Cattle Pens
Tourist attraction
👍👍 We transport horses and this is a great SAFE place to unload for a nice break. We always make it a point to stop here if close enough. & If you're lucky you get to see the ranchers work the cattle.

Chase Lake Falls
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Water was pretty low, but still a great nature walk! Be sure to follow the directions to get to the falls- when you turn onto the Lake Rd, keep a look at to your left for where the lake starts. You'll see a 'no vehicles sign' and the damn with an obvious walking past. You'll walk around/under/over a...

Lyon County History Center
Museum
😐 Nice displays but hasn't grown since being in the smaller old library. Thought they'd have more of their old things out and on display. Too much empty space, especially on third floor, not even used.

Flint Hills National Wildlife Refuge
Wildlife refuge
👍👍 Magical. My husband, who is from Kansas, and I have driven past this dozens, if not hundreds, of times over the years without knowing it was there. 12 miles off the interstate, and you are in another world. Fields, rivers, wildflower meadows. This is an underrated gem.
