Native Stone Scenic Byway The Native Stone Scenic Byway follows
the rolling terrain of the Flint Hills surrounded by stone
fences that mark the end of the open range on the prairie. The
communities along the byway tell the story of early settlement
in the Flint Hills including tales of the Underground Railroad.
Native stone is a prevalent building material throughout the
area for houses, commercial buildings and barns. One of the
largest barns is the Sump Barn made of both native stone and
lumber in 1905. Wildflowers are profuse in late spring through
fall,and native grasses exhibit great color throughout the year.
Lake Wabaunsee and its spillway provide the visitor with
opportunity to see the geological past. Echo Cliff Park also
provides a clear picture of how the land was formed. Wabaunsee
County Museum helps tell the story.
