Kansas

Kansas is home in the Midwestern United States sharing borders with Nebraska, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Colorado. The majority of Kansas is flat being part of the great central plain but there are a few hills and forests dotting the countryside as well. Kansas is home to a few national and historic sites that are protected by the National Park Service which includes Fort Larned National in Larned, Fort Scott National Historic Site, California National Historic Trail, Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, Oregon National Historic Trail, Nicodemus National Historic Site, Santa Fe National Trail, Pony Express National Historic Trail, and Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve.

If you enjoy arts and culture, you will find there are many different museums to explore including Overland Park, Spencer Museum of Art in Lawrence, Kirby House in Abilene, and Small World Gallery in Lindsborg. If you truly want to learn about cowboys then you are going to love visiting the ranches in Kansas like the Circle S Guest Ranch & Country Inn, Doyle Creek, Flying W Ranch, and JL Canyon Ranch. Kids will love the Gage Park - Mini Train & Carousel in Topeka, the Sunset Zoo in Manhattan, T-REX in Kansas City, and Kansas Underground Salt Museum in Hutchinson.
