Things to do in Enterprise, Kansas

Founded as a milling city in 1868, Enterprise, Kansas, stands today as a monument to the entrepreneurial spirit that built the Kansas agribusiness industry. The once-monolithic Hoffman Grist Mill, which produced flour from locally grown Kansas wheat for over 60 years, lives again through today’s recreated Hoffman Mill and General Store. The Abilene and Smoky Valley heritage railroad operates on rails laid in 1886 by the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad, which once enabled the original Mill founder, Christian Hoffman, to ship his flour across the country. And outdoor lovers delight in walking the 5.5-mile Iron Horse Trail that connects Enterprise with the nearby city of Abilene and takes them through some of Kansas’ most fertile farmlands in the Smoky Hill River Valley.
