Exploring Kansas: New Look at the Sunflower State

Rating:
Summary: Finding Hidden Travel Treasures
Review: Mil Penner takes us to small towns and hamlets off the beaten track in a state that many people pass over. The book reads like a series of articles about the counties he highlights. There are not many habitated towns in most of the counties he explores.

He highlights local history and culture, both in artifacts and personalities. He looks at the Santa Fe Trail, ethnic settlements, wildlife, festivals, museums (both public and private), historic structures and small industries.

If you are planning on travelling to or through Kansas, this book will open your eyes to some opportunities that aren't found in more popular travel guides. If you are looking for a quiet and unrushed place to tour, you will find it in Kansas. This is a ground-level view of a well-grounded state.
