Medicine Lodge is also the home to the Carry Nation home, a significant figure in not only Kansas, but America as a whole. Carry Nation was infamous for using a hatchet to destroy saloons and bars, fighting for prohibition.

Next on our list is the historic Stockade Museum, a place to learn about pioneer life in a stockade, both the good and the bad. The 1870s were such a unique time in Kansas’s history, it’s important to learn about it!

After your visit to the Carry Nation home and the Stockades museum, we definitely recommend getting a bite to eat at Raykies Burgers. A fresh burger and fried sides goes a long way, especially if you get a shake as well.

Of course, the star of the show is almost always the Gypsum Hills. They’re simply gorgeous, and a welcome relief from many flat scenes that border most of our highways.
