Built in 1939, the Rock Island Railroad bridge is located North of Arkalon. It has been dubbed, the “Sampson of the Cimarron.” It is perhaps the longest known railroad bridge and spans more than 1200 feet across the Cimarron River. It towers approximately 114 feet above the river.

The actual geographical center is located in Smith County, just north of Lebanon, Kansas. There is a stone monument marking its location. The monument was built before Alaska and Hawaii became states. Being the center makes Kansas both unique and important! 2 Because it is in the center, Kansas is said to be the “heart of the nation.” It is a 208 by 411 mile rectangle.

Kansans are well aware the “Wizard of Oz” movie was set in their state. They have already heard all the jokes and they are mostly used to the movie being the first topic of conversation. There is a remarkable museum in Wamego for those who need a “Wizard of Oz” fix.

The Sunflower State has a ton of farmland and a few years ago, the state produced adequate wheat to bake six loaves for each individual earth, approximately 33 billion loaves. Residing there for a few months, anybody will easily see why the state song “Home on the Range” is believed to perfectly describe the state.

Approximately 90 percent of rural towns have under 3000 residents and throughout the state, there are several thousand ghost towns.
