AT#967 - Travel to Kansas

Hear about travel to Kansas as the Amateur Traveler discusses a recent trip to Wichita, Kansas, for a conference and a post-conference Old West themed press trip. This week's show is supported by the new Smart Travel Podcast. Travel smarter — and spend less — with help from NerdWallet. Check out Smart Travel ⁠⁠⁠here. Why should you go to Kansas? Chris says, "This is a state that surprised me. I wasn't planning on doing an episode on this trip, but Kansas surprised me. The history and the food were all memorable. The press trip I did was about the Old West, so we visited sites about native americans, the Santa Fe Trail, railroads, cowboys, lawmen, and then later on the manufacturing of airplanes." Start in Wichita. Drive two hours northeast to Council Grove, a historic stop on the Santa Fe Trail. Day 1 – Council Grove and Abilene Kaw Mission State Historic Site: Learn about the Kanza (Kaw) tribe for whom Kansas is named, and the short-lived Methodist mission school built after the tribe ceded land to the U.S. Allegawaho Memorial Heritage Park: The only remaining Kanza-owned land in Kansas, used for powwows and home to a sacred red rock recently repatriated from Lawrence. The Last Chance Store: Once the final supply stop for wagons heading southwest toward Santa Fe. Lunch: Eat at Hays House, founded in 1857 and considered the oldest restaurant west of the Mississippi. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-kansas/ Learn more about your ad choices.
