Stafford County, Kansas
Stafford County, nestled in central Kansas, is all about keeping things simple. The county seat, St. John, is a small town with a big heart.
It’s mostly flat farmland, but there’s some interesting wildlife areas like Quivira National Wildlife Refuge nearby. There’s good bird watching in the area if you’re into that.
The county also has a bit of oil production alongside its agriculture. U.S. Highway 281 runs through, so it’s easy to swing by. With about 4,000 people, it’s quiet enough to hear yourself think.
