As the sun stops trying to fry us and the days are a little less sunny, let’s use the good weather to explore! Kansas is full of little towns bursting with character, but there’s not enough vacation days in a year to fully explore all of them. However, this is an example of a great little town in Kansas with much to offer! Tourists and Kansans alike, make sure you add this spot to your bucket list this year. It’s so worth it.
This little town hiding in the middle of prairie grassland is none other than Osawatomie (ooh-suh-wah-tuh-mee, if you’re not familiar!)

With a little more than 4,400 people living here, you get the charm of a small town without feeling like no one lives here.

In addition to that gorgeous charm, there’s a wonderful place to eat named Chris’ Cafe.

Next up is the historic John Brown Museum and connected park.
