Everyone needs a break at some point. In Kansas, you’ve got plenty of choices between nature preserves, small towns, and other attractions where you can enjoy time away from home. If your idea of a break involves a road trip, then we think this farm town in Kansas is the perfect place to be. It’s got everything you’ll need for a day or two away from home. All it needs is you!
Welcome to Norton, Kansas, a small town of almost 3,000 residents that's been around since 1872. It's a quiet town that never feels empty, and has all the friendliness you'd expect from the heart of the Heartland.
If you're looking to stay longer than a day, I recommend the Prairie Inn just off the beaten path for a great stay that's equally quiet and refreshing. You'll be hard pressed to find somewhere more relaxing!
Norton itself is a great little farm town that was named after Capt. Orloff Norton, same as the county. It's where one of the first recorded tornado photos was captured in 1909 by Will Keller, and it's a town that loves celebrating its history.
For those of us who de-stress with a little shopping, you'll find the Thread Junkies Boutique is perfect for any Kansan who likes cardigans and unique pieces to add to their wardrobe.
You’ll find Norton near the Nebraska-Kansas border, straight north of Dodge City.
