Kansas is full of hundreds of little towns, each with their own personality. Have you ever wanted a place for free spirits and artistic ways of life? Well, there’s an entire town in Kansas made up of people and attitudes just like that! Of course, some of you have heard of it before, but why not share with everyone the uniqueness of this little hippie town?
It's a city in Russell County that holds about 400 people these days.
It's a wonderful place for free thinkers, oddballs, and weirdos of many kinds. Of course, you can plainly see that wherever you go, with whoever you meet. The people here are both quirky and friendly, and are used to people gawking around at the local art installations.
