Hollow Park Sedan Kansas, Travel Kansas

The Hollow Park located just off main Street in Sedan Kansas.
Take a few minutes and see the beauty of this great park.



What will you find at the Hollow?
You will see the St. Charles School House

I use the Canon 60D DSLR Camera






The boardwalk will lead you down the path to the waterfalls





Nad if you happen to luck enough to be there after a big rain you will see
the waterfalls in their full glory
if not then this is what you will see


                                           




The gazebo has been the center of attention for many years

but a few years ago some kids decided to tear it down
but as always the town rallied and rebuilt it 
even better than before.




There are benches to set on 


Stone pathways to follow




the bridge going across the highway
is a stone ached bridge one of many located thru out South Central Kansas




So the next time you are traveling
East on Highway 166 or South on Highway 99
plan on stopping and visit this beautiful Park
No matter what time of the year The Hollow Park located in Sedan Kansas
will be waiting for you.

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.
