A Walk Through Ness City, Kansas
Take a walk with me as we visit the Skyscraper On The Plains, an 1890 stone building that was contracted for a total of $34,000.
During this tour of Ness City, Kansas, you will see the very first school in the city built in 1882. Look around the corner and you will find the tall white grain elevators right next to the Blacksmith shop. Down the street an old bus is parked behind an old-fashioned car wash bay complete with the old wash tub.
Finally take a gander at the dust covered brick streets. Cattle still come across these streets, but only nowadays they come in a cattle trailer on their way to Dodge City, Kansas.
When you get tired, feel free to sit a spell in one of the tractor-seat benches provided.
