Anderson County, Kansas
East-central Kansas is home to Anderson County, where just under 8,000 people live life. Garnett, the county seat, boasts a courthouse that looks like it’s straight out of a movie set.
Every August, the county fair brings carnival rides and enough funnel cake to feed an army. Lake Garnett is a local favorite for cooling off in the summer.
If you’re into trains, the old Garnett Depot is worth a look. Highway 59 brings in a steady stream of travelers through this part of rural Kansas. After all the ups and downs, Anderson County’s still kicking.
