Kansas
Begin your tour in the great state of Kansas known as the Sunflower State, The Jayhawk State, the Cyclone State, the Wheat State and Midway USA. Kansas is full of prairies and plains and is truly the breadbasket of the United States as it produces more wheat than any other state. With all the flat land in Kansas the early years were marked by cattle drives and railroads. Kansas was home to the largest cattle market in the world and home to Wyatt Earp, Wild Bill Hickok, and Bat Masterson. Today, Kansas is a thoroughly modern state with museums that not only document the history of the making of a state but the heritage of artisans who stayed and made their homes on the flatlands of wheat country.
