With its rich history, scenic landscape, exciting attractions and friendly Midwest hospitality, Kansas has it all. The geographical centre of North America, Kansas is a major agricultural area, with vast areas of farmland and as highway signs remind travelers, ‘Every Kansas farmer feeds 75 people – and you.’
It is a state of diversified relief, the landscape of the east, with its hills, woodlands, grain-and-livestock farms, and comparatively large cities, contrasts sharply with the dry treeless plains and vast wheat farms of the sparsely populated west. In addition, the High Plains of the west include areas of canyon country and sand dunes reminiscent of New Mexico and other parts of the Southwest, while the rolling grasslands of the Flint and Smoky hills, in central Kansas, resemble the rangelands of the West.
Attractions in Kansas embrace its rich history and include the restored cattle town of Dodge City, where, it is worth visiting the Boot Hill Museum which recreates the Boot Hill Cemetery and Front Street as they looked in the 1870s. Wichita is the largest city in Kansas and is famed today for aircraft manufacture, it is also home to Sedgwick County Zoo, one of Kansas’s top tourist attractions.
