Kansas Bridges, A collection of old Bridges in South East Kansas

Photographs of Kansas Bridges



My Collection of  Photographs of  Some
of the many old Bridges Located in South Central Kansas

As I travel around this beautiful State of Kansas 
I am always on the look out for old bridges
I really love the stone arch bridges that are scatted around the State

I have noticed the state has started to identify these old bridges 
with signs on the main road ways.

There are several located in Cowley County 
the signs are small signs that read stone arched bridge with an arrow 
pointing in the direction to the bridge.

There is a sign on K-15 South of Dexter, and then another one on highway 160
just East of Winfield Kansas.

I drove to that one a couple of months ago, there was so many weeds growing around it I was 

unable to get any pictures.

I hope you enjoy the bridges 

you can purchase any of these pictures HERE
























Thank you for looking

The Oxford Mill Oxford Kansas

The old Oxford mill
Traveling West from Winfield Ks. on highway 160 you will come to the small town of Oxford Kansas.

Located on the Arkansas River this quaint little Kansas Town is full of charm and History.
The Old Grist Mill built in 1849 sets on West Bank of the river.














Although the Old Mill is not used to mill the grain the local farmers would bring,
the Old mill has a new life and purpose.

The Owners of the Mil, Wallace Champing and Hal Ross completely restored the mill back in 1988-89.
The restoration was completed as they replaced most of the support posts and beams, new joists and flooring, and refurbished Head House.

The old mill now serves as a popular tourist attraction , with many visitors every year.
The owners have opened a restaurant in the newly remodeled Head House.


So the next time you are wanting someplace  to go Oxford Kansas is just a short drive from Wichita Kansas,

Just head south on the the turnpike, exit at Wellington the go East until you arrive in Oxford, there are signs directing you to the mill.
