Description
Welcome Home to Lincoln County
Set in the Smoky Hills of north central Kansas, Lincoln County is known as the "Post Rock Capital of Kansas." Here, early settlers hand carved Greenhorn limestone to build everything from countryside fence posts to the historic buildings framing Lincoln Avenue, shaping a practical, down to earth community anchored by its unique landscape. On weekends, you can hike the dramatic Dakota sandstone bluffs at nearby Wilson Lake, catch a movie or live performance at the non-profit Finch Theatre, or drop by the Lincoln Art Center for bimonthly gallery openings and open studio nights.
