Wilson

Welcome to Wilson, Kansas, where there's more than a hint of Czech heritage to be found. There's something special about a historic town with few people because you get to meet a good portion of the community during your visit. This small town has about 750 residents, but the charm does not diminish with population. Wilson is known as Kansas' Czech capital, and you can visit during one of their heritage events or simply to explore a town that feels like it's in another country.

Wilson, despite its Czech heritage and design, is very much a part of Kansas, from the friendly people to the beautiful skies and farmland. That, and magnificent monuments such as the World's Largest Hand Painted Czech Egg, which stands 22 feet tall. Another interesting place to visit in town is the Midland Railroad Hotel, a historic landmark hidden away in such a small town that is a great place to stay or eat during your visit. It was once one of the most popular hotels in the Midwest, but since its reopening in 2003, it has been a fantastic place to tour and learn about the history of this town and the people who helped make it so.
