What's the matter with Kansas? For travelers, darn little! It mixes grasslands with rolling hills, farm country with cities like Wichita, Topeka, and Lawrence (this last with an active cultural scene). History, wineries, great outdoors, more.

    On the conclusion of our Midwest Baseball Tour at The World on Wheels, we take a side trip to Monroe Elementary School in Topeka, Kansas...where Oliver Brown's daughter attended. They're better known as the Brown in Brown v. The Topeka Board of Education, a landmark suit for civil rights. Now, it's a national historic monument. With video and pictures, we also visit the state historical museum and find one heck of a good comfort food restaurant: http://tinyurl.com/37lhfcy

    Hi.

    Probably not the original HH, it was in Overland Park. Loved Gates though. Yes, Kauffman was a huge suprise, loved it and the fountains.

    Gosh, Darryl - I have to take exception to some of your reporting about your presence in Missouri. You obviously didn't eat at the original Hereford House, since it was destroyed by arson fire last year.
    But glad you liked Kauffman Stadium. It really is one of the prettiest ballparks in the majors. Isn't the fountain spectacular?!

    Admittedly, not the most exciting city for public transit but the one I have the most recent experience with...check out our new Transit Report for Kansas City today on The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/2a4phtt

    It will be a little while before I can get the full reports together, but if you'd like to see the highlights (and a couple of disappointments) from our recent Midwest Baseball Tour, go to this link at The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/2de8sat

Eisenhower home in Abiline one of top USA presidential sites

I'll say upfront, I'm horrified by the nightmare my country has just let itself in for,  wincing at the massive damage we're going to be taking over the next four (and hopefully only four) years. So it's all the more worth noting that given the outsize world influence of this country’s chief executive, travellers seeking insights into both U.S. and world history will find intriguing and often first-hand information at the libraries, homes, and other sites dedicated to the various presidents and…

Road Trip Through the Flint Hills

     The ground was still saturated from the storms that had plagued the area the day before. It did not take long before my boots and pant legs from the knees down were wet and my legs getting cold. The early morning air was barely above the freezing point as we made our way across the lake dam and down the short trail that leads to the three level waterfall. I decided to head further down the trail to start with the bottom falls and then work my way up. I went as far as the underbrush would…
