After visiting Kirwin Reservior and National Wildlife Refuge, we decided to explore the community of Kirwin. It is a small community, but there is still a lot of history when you drive around Town Square. You can find historical markers about Fort Kirwin, Camp Kirwin, and Station 13. You can also see a large, brick building in the square that once was the city office and fire department. It is now the city office and library. On the way out of town, we saw a sign pointing to the school and decided to follow it. It probably led to the current school building, but we managed to find a one-room school along the way. It is always fun to find interesting little pieces of history on our adventures.
2011 was KS' 150th birthday. We traveled to various places in the state/experiencing 150+ things (Castle Rock, Salt Museum, Cosmosphere, Scenic Byways, Ms. Wheelchair KS Pageant, etc.). {COPYRIGHTS/INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES CONTAINED HEREIN ARE OWNED BY THEIR RESPECTIVE ENTITIES, our personal thoughts on these activities are not necessarily shared by everyone, please judge for yourselves.} CLICK PICTURES FOR LARGER VIEW, THEN BROWSER BACK TO RETURN!
