Allen County, Kansas
Tucked away in southeast Kansas, Allen County has about 12,500 residents. Iola, the biggest town, throws a mean chili cook-off during the annual Farm-City Days in October.
Neosho River Park in Humboldt is perfect for a lazy afternoon of fishing or a family picnic. If you’re into outdoor fun, the Lehigh Portland Trails offer miles of biking and walking paths.
If you’re passing through on US-54, make a pit stop at Iola’s Old Jail Museum. It’s a quirky look at what lockup was like back in the day. Despite its small size, Allen County packs in plenty of charm and a few surprises.
