When Ellinwood Kansas town was built in 1870’s near the Arkansas River about a mile away it was constructed as a 2-story town, which was common in Germany at the time with the first story being underground. The second story is ground level and all you could see walking about town. The underground first story was not hidden or a secret. It had typical downtown merchants like a barber shop, doc’s office, saddle maker and other shops along the walkways. It was cool and tornado proof and probably less likely to catch on fire. You check-in and pay a small admission fee for a guided (explained) at the old historic Wolf Hotel where your tour begins. If you can stay the night be sure to stay at the Wolf Hotel and better yet if you get a chance to eat a meal there particularly their fried chicken Sunday brunch. Ask for Chris McCord, owner and expert hotelier.

What a fun way to get in your daily steps and learn about the history of this fascinating town. Do take the time to read placards set along the trail. You’ll get a closer look at how Lindsborg came into being, and a sense of pride in their Swedish heritage.
3. Battle Canyon

This gives the 3D view of the landscape of every battle scene from the great plains. The cave where the women and children stayed during the battle, the Cheyenne gun hides, the escape route and all in one great vista , well worth the 1/2 hour to see from the monument or there are paths to enter and walk the site for 2 hours.
