High Plains History: Hidden Oasis

Published October 14, 2025 at 6:00 AM CDT

Historic Lake Scott State Park is considered a recreational gem of western Kansas.

Let's take a drive to Lake Scott State Park!

Maybe the weather will let us try our hand at some trout fishing, and we'll take a turn on the lake in a canoe. Afterwards, we can explore the ruins of El Quartelejo, the only Indian pueblo in Kansas.

Keep an eye out for wild turkey and deer. No wonder Lake Scott made a list of Best Beaches in the USA!

High Plains History: Hodgeman County Ghost Towns

Mary Regan

Many early day settlers came to Western Kansas via the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, and in the 1870’s and early 1880’s they were often deposited in Kinsley. This being the farthest rail point west, their journey continued by team and wagon as they followed dreams of homesteading in a new land, often with newfound freedom. Hodgeman County offered open country and new beginnings for several groups of settlers.

High Plains History: Pig Pen Ranch

Lynn Boitano

The settlement of the American West often relied on ‘boom or bust’ events. Years of good weather could bring bumper crops that enticed would-be farmers to try their hand at homesteading, and the discovery of precious metals brought hoards of the hopeful to the gold fields of Colorado and California.

High Plains History: Making Lemonade

Mary Regan

The saying, “when life gives you lemons, then make some lemonade” must have been in the mind of Frank ‘Pop’ Conard as he surveyed the tragedy and heartbreak of the Dirty Thirties. Born near Butler, Missouri in 1885, Conard learned photography skills by helping his brother at his studio in Lacrosse, Kansas. In 1914, he and his wife Mabel moved to Garden City, where they set up their own photo shop.

High Plains History: Early Autos on the High Plains

Debra Bolton

In the early 1900s, automobiles were just beginning to appear on the scene of rural America, and few people could imagine the changes the ‘horseless carriage’ would be bringing to the high plains. There were probably no cars in the Garden City area until 1906, and for the next ten years people were pretty skeptical about the future of those noisy metal horses. The automobile was thought by many to be a passing fancy, and the new machines were often the brunt of jokes.

High Plains History: Bent’s Fort

Debra Bolton

In the decades after the Louisiana Purchase, the U.S.’s economic frontier expanded westward. In 1833 the military built a fort on the north bank of the Arkansas River, then the boundary between the U.S. and Mexico. First called Fort William and later renamed to Bent’s Fort, after William and Charles Bent, two brothers from St. Louis who led a trade caravan to Santa Fe in 1829.
