Strong City

Strong City is a small town that has been heavily shaped by the railroad. The park is railroad-themed, and city hall is housed in an old railroad depot, along with a museum.

The town features some older stone houses and many cottonwood trees. This is appropriate since it's a sister city to Cottonwood Falls, which is just a mile to the south.

Every June, the Flint Hills Rodeo takes place in Strong City, temporarily swelling the population of 485 by 20,000 people. 

Strong City is also located near the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve, which is definitely worth a visit if you'd like to see how the land used to look before humans lived here.
