Bourbon County, Kansas
Bourbon County sits in the southeast corner of Kansas, right up against Missouri. It has about 14,000 folks and a name that might make you thirsty.
Fort Scott, the biggest town, is home to a real-deal frontier fort that’s now a national historic site. If you’re into civil war history, this place is a goldmine.
The Good Ol’ Days festival turns downtown Fort Scott into one big party. Gunn Park is a local favorite for fishing and disc golf. And if you’re passing through on US-69, you might catch a whiff of that sweet bourbon smell from the distillery.
