Is it the food, or is it Lock? I love both! Amazingly good Thai cuisine only 11 miles to the West. While you're there, you have to try Lock's hot tea...and ask her about her story. She has an amazing story about her escape and journey to the US.

The newest addition to our Historic Main Street in Jetmore (only 11 miles to the West)...Bootleggers is open for lunch and dinner and features all kinds of fun events and live music! They have space for private meetings and large gatherings, as well as the "bar side" with seating and the bar, as well as tables. But they have recently opened up the basement as well. Great space with limestone walls...I think it has a "speakeasy feel". In May, 2018 they will be opening up their back patio for fun, evening dining experiences.

The newest State Park in Kansas is a unique collaboration with the Nature Conservancy...and simply amazing! My friend Sara-Kay Carroll is the Park Manager and this place is certainly worth the drive.

Arts & Culture

Great local museum! Bigger than it looks outside, the museum now encompasses 3 Main Street buildings and also has an additional metal building in the back that houses farming equipment. You will get a great feel for what life was like on the Prairie...and they have a great Military Display that you wouldn't expect for a small museum. When HorseThief Reservoir was being built, a team from Columbia, Mo completed the archaeological dig and their findings now reside in the Haun Museum...The Treasures of HorseTheif. When you stop by...don't forget to ask about the Jetmore Elephant...and if you are interested, they may even let you try on the coat made from Buffalo! NO Charge to enter.
