Travel Categories: National Historic Site

An unexpected hidden gem of a national historic site! Like all sites in the national Park system this one is unbelievably well done and even has a full-time blacksmith.

I love visiting old one-room schoolhouses that have been restored. It's always interesting to see how kids learned so many years ago.

The historic Spring Hill Ranch House located at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve showcases the ingenuity and ambition of the 19th century.

A few miles north of Strong City, Kansas is the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve. The barn was the biggest limestone barn in Kansas in 1878 on the Spring Hill Farm.

I spent a few hours wandering this amazing national Park service. Reconstruction was very educational and fascinating. Absolutely worth the visit.
