Santa Fe Trail site Visit- Lanesfield School State Historic Site Edgerton Kansas

Site Visit, Lanesfield School State Historic Site - Friday June 28, 2013
This is a site on the Santa Fe Trail, and as the name indicates, it is more about the School and its history, but inside the visitor center, there is much information about how the Santa Fe Trail impacted the school and its environs. 




I was met at the Visitor's Center by a very astute summer intern, who was a History major in graduate school, and dressed in period costume.  We talked about the nature of one room schools, and the impact of the Trail on its environs and history. 

I was able to get all four of the stamps that were listed for this site. 





 
The school literally is in the middle of a Kansas Wheat Field, located after traversing several dirt roads for about 3 or 4 miles!
 
 
Fun visit to an out of the way place.
