A lone gas pump in the middle of the prairie, a farmhouse in a city’s busy downtown—buildings tell a community’s life story.  Plus, they look good doing it.  Buildings, street names, signs, bridges, and other structures provide clues to who a community was and is, when and how it began, where it’s been, and where it’s going. Tour some of the buildings here to find clues to Kansas’ past, and tour your own community to find out what history you can discover just outside your front door.
