Recently, a Super Bowl LV Jeep commercial has made much of America aware of a tiny spot in Kansas known as the Geographic Center of the Contiguous United States. That means just the lower 48! If you’ve never heard of this neck of the woods before, we’re here to introduce you to a charming little spot in Lebanon. Come check it out!

Out in the middle of northern Kansas, up by the Nebraska border, is a little town named Lebanon. Here lies the geographical center of the contiguous United States, a spot that marks the center of America.

Though it doesn't account for Alaska and Hawaii, the center of the U.S. is still a fun stop to travel through, if you like classic road trips.

Here at that spot is also a teeny tiny chapel that never closes. It was recently featured as a destination during a Jeep commercial that played during Super Bowl LV.
