There’s something about Kansas that’s hard to explain, something you need to experience to understand. Kansas has been called a fabled place, a land whose people and history have made it the nation’s mythical Heartland and the metaphor for the authentic American experience. Part of the Kansas story is told by the land itself. Scarred by ancient oceans, Kansas is a rugged blend of fossil-laden plains, green prairies and the world-famous Flint Hills. Kansas is home to the largest remaining stand of tallgrass prairie in North America, offering visitors a glimpse of what the continent looked like 200 years ago. Adding to the state’s lore, Kansas is still a natural habitat for the American bison, which can be spotted along our scenic highways and byways. Kansas’ history is also the history of colliding cultures and the development of America. The state boasts legendary Wild West towns that staged the era’s most exciting jailbreaks, shootouts and cattle drives. Visitors can also visit the state’s myriad of museums and explore Kansas’ pioneer, Native American and Civil War legacies. There are few places like Kansas. With a unique combination of heritage, untainted beauty and opportunity for adventure, Kansas has something for everyone.
