Kansas has a cowboy culture sweeping across the prairies. “Home, home on the range” are the words of the state’s official song, and tourists can stay at authentic cattle ranches – from rustic to luxurious.
Kansas also offers stories of Native Americans, with several museums dedicated to the Amerindian tribes that lived here once (four still live).
One of the tourist spots is the Flint Hills, where you can visit a vast prairie – by covered wagon, if you wish – to see the American bison and watch a rodeo. Reserve time to eat, as the people of Kansas take pride in their barbecue!
Wichita, the largest city in Kansas, earned the title of “cowtown” in the late 19th century when cattle herds followed the 
Chisholm Trail for easy access to the railroads. Wichita has changed tremendously since then, but still retains features that remind one of its ranching past. In addition to fascinating historical museums, the cosmopolitan city boasts over a thousand restaurants, eight shopping districts, and various attractions, along with many theaters and festivals.
