Glen Elder ---------------- Quiet, rural town |
|
. . . a friendly rural community of 500 people, is nestled at the base of Glen Elder Reservoir in the fertile Solomon River valley of North Central Kansas. Waconda Lake provides an opportunity for excellent fishing and the open prairie affords good hunting for upland game birds, deer, and wild turkey. The entire area is also renowned for its duck and goose hunting. The bright blue skies, clean air, expansive vistas, and glowing sunsets provide a perfect place to escape the stress and hustle of work or urban life. Slipping off to small town America in the very center of the Heartland will give you a sense of returning to simpler times. For travelers with the pioneer spirit, Glen Elder lies halfway between the Santa Fe Trail to the south and Oregon Trail to the north. Twenty day's journey out of Westport, Missouri, by "wagon train" should place you in the vicinity. For travelers preferring quicker modes of transportation, Glen Elder is 70 miles northwest of Salina, Kansas, on U.S. Highway 24, and 235 miles west of Kansas City. The nearest small plane accessible airport can be found 10 miles east in Beloit, Kansas. ------------------- Maps |
