Saturday, May 7th - - The above sign is located on U.S. Highway 36 in north-central Kansas. Several miles northwest is the small, rather desolate and forlorn looking town of Lebanon and a little further to the northwest of Lebanon is the Geographic Center of the Contiguous United States.
Going up... on Kansas 191
And over. At the end of the road is “The Center” of the U.S.
This new little chapel seats four. The original was destroyed in 2008 by a speeding car.
The official marker denotes the spot.
The flag really needs to be replaced. A strong wind was blowing as I'm guessing it does much of the time.
Lebanon has souvenirs?

OK, FUN FACTOR ALERT! love this!
That is fun! I've never known about that marker before. Now I have another place to add to my list of places I want to see.
Neat. Are you anywhere near Hutchinson? Got a good friend who lives there, and I've been there. Have fun.

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.
I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com
This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
