Sherman County, Kansas
Sherman County sits on the Colorado border in northwest Kansas, with Goodland as its main town and county seat.
Goodland has this giant Van Gogh painting replica “Big Easel” that’s kind of cool… because who says small towns can’t appreciate art?
It’s high plains country, mostly flat with some gentle rolls. Agriculture drives the economy, just like most of Kansas. Sherman County may be off the beaten path, but that’s exactly what makes it special.
