With spring in full swing, the State Library of Kansas has several books that might help you plan a weekend road trip.
Want to see the oldest public library this side of the Mississippi operated continuously in the same building since 1876? Plan a road trip to Blue Rapids.
Want to do a Post Rock country tour? Check out the Post Rock Scenic Byway in Russell County.
Would you like to know more about Laura Ingalls Wilder’s childhood home? Head over to Independence.
