"Drive the Byway" Weekend
Western Vistas Historic Byway
Celebrating the 150th Anniversary of Kansas Statehood with a “Drive the Byway” Weekend, Saturday, May 7th and Sunday, May 8th 2011.
This is a perfect opportunity to discover the rich history and scenic beauty of the first historic byway in Kansas. Create your own weekend adventure. Attractions on the route will have special happenings, displays and events for you to enjoy.
The byway links three western Kansas counties stretching over 102 miles. It features six museums plus twelve historic and scenic sites. The byway runs north from Scott City to Oakley (US 83), then west to Sharon Springs (US 40) and can be traveled from either direction with many stops between these cities. Along this route are side trips including Lake Scott State Park (Hwy 95) and Russell Springs (Hwy 25). Come help us celebrate the first year of the Western Vistas Historic Byway and honor the 150th Anniversary of Kansas.
