A town with a beautiful downtown area is something to be cherished and saved. So many towns around Kansas have lost theirs to fire, natural disaster, or disrepair. When we see these historic buildings, we want to save them!

This downtown also has something unique to only this town. The oldest courthouse in Kansas that's still being used calls Cottonwood Falls its home. Hopefully, it will remain in use for a long time into the future.
