Hays, America

Wild West Cattle Town Reformed

What was once a raucous trail head teeming with cowboys, saloons, and dance hall girls is now a progressive community on the high plains of Kansas, home to a fine university, and an agricultural center.

I was fortunate to attend Fort Hays State (then College - now University) for a couple years in the early 1960s, but had not been back to visit campus or the town until a brief stop the summer of 2003. I wish I had more time to look around and to take more photos. Maybe I will get another chance. Especially worthy of a visit is the Sternberg Museum which features a fascinating collection of fossils and skeletons from the dinosaur age.

Hays exhibits a very strong German influence, the area having been settled by Volga-German farmers.

Pros:"Friendly community, has advantages associated with a university"
Cons:"You're a long, long ways from a city. You have to really like small-town life."
In A Nutshell:"I have great memories of my school days there."
