This little town has some old time charm in its main street. It is almost a commuter town for Lawrence, or Kansas City these days-about 20 miles either distance to each. The town founded in 1857 by sale of 80 acres by a Shawnee Indian to Mr. Legate. It wsasa river town and did fairly well until late 1800's. A revival came when Sunflower Ammunition Plant came to town, and it employs thousands. Today the town has 6,000 residents. Abbot Hall named after an original founder is used as a museum
