See a buffalo up close, live like a cowboy for a day on a working cattle ranch or visit a stagecoach stop on the Sante Fe Trail are just a few of the many vacation experiences possible in this state in America’s heartland. You’ll love the wide-open spaces and the opportunities to engage in a variety of one-of-a-kind experiences in this marvelous state, which has the largest segment of true tallgrass prairie remaining in the U.S. Regardless of where you visit: a major metropolitan area like Kansas City, a college town like Manhattan or Lawrence or engaging places like Wichita, Dodge City and Salina, there are a wide array of attractions and sights nearby. If you want to familiarize yourself with cowboy culture, visit the Boot Hills Museum in Dodge City, dine on all-you-can-eat barbeque and hear songs of the American Cowboy at Diamond W Chuckwagon Supper in Wichita or explore the Dickinson County Heritage Center in Abilene, which has dance halls, gaming rooms and 32 saloons.
For outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, bird watching and other activities, three of the state’s most popular parks are: Cheney State Park near Wichita; Scott State Park near Scott City and Tuttle Creek State Park near Manhattan.

We came for a wedding and checked out the layout the day before the event. There was a tour bus of college students visiting the church at the time and a priest was giving the tour. If you are visiting the area with a group it would behoove you to make arrangements ahead of time for a tour. The handicapped entrance is on the north side of the church. The church is made of local limestone and is an impressive monument to the local volga deutsch culture. It sits right off of I-70 and is visible from the highway. On your way to the church you might also stop and take a look at old iron german crosses at the local cemetery.

Mount St. Scholastica offers so much....quiet, peacefulness, spirituality, a special place for a retreat. Arrangements can be made for a tour of the Benedictine Sisters smaller Chapel and the larger Chapel both having beautiful historical stained glass windows. The Sophia Center offers one-day and weekend educational workshops on many interesting topics. Also available are individualized personal retreats with excellent spiritual directors. I highly recommend Mount St. Scholastica.
