Things to do in Kansas, Kansas: The Best Monuments & Statues

September 10, 2021 Brain Ambrose

See a buffalo up close, live like a cowboy for a day on a working cattle ranch or visit a stagecoach stop on the Sante Fe Trail are just a few of the many vacation experiences possible in this state in America’s heartland. You’ll love the wide-open spaces and the opportunities to engage in a variety of one-of-a-kind experiences in this marvelous state, which has the largest segment of true tallgrass prairie remaining in the U.S. Regardless of where you visit: a major metropolitan area like Kansas City, a college town like Manhattan or Lawrence or engaging places like Wichita, Dodge City and Salina, there are a wide array of attractions and sights nearby. If you want to familiarize yourself with cowboy culture, visit the Boot Hills Museum in Dodge City, dine on all-you-can-eat barbeque and hear songs of the American Cowboy at Diamond W Chuckwagon Supper in Wichita or explore the Dickinson County Heritage Center in Abilene, which has dance halls, gaming rooms and 32 saloons. For outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, bird watching and other activities, three of the state’s most popular parks are: Cheney State Park near Wichita; Scott State Park near Scott City and Tuttle Creek State Park near Manhattan.

Just a little pull out on the side of the highway and a great view of the prairie lands. It's not very tall, but that's ok.

Davis Memorial

Reviewed By FrequentFlier283771

The Davis Memorial is in Mount Hope Cemetery in Hiawatha. It is a series of marble statues reflecting John and Sarah Davis in various stages of life. It was built around the early 1930s - not without controversy - near the time of Sarah's death. It is a part of the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The cemetery is very pleasant located in the pretty town of Hiawatha.
