Perry, Kansas is a small town that has an air of mystery and charm. Though perhaps not the most bustling metropolis in America, there are certain sights in Perry that could attract any curious traveler. Located just south of Topeka, it was originally founded as a trading post before transitioning into a farming community at the turn of the century. You can experience many historical landmarks such as Fort Riley, which served as a military outpost during the Indian Wars; or Mennonite Church Graveyard with its picturesque stone walls. There’s also the old-fashioned Kuehmeier Court House where you can explore artifacts from some of Kansas’ earliest court cases.
For those looking for more modern attractions, Perry offers plenty to do too. The annual Octoberfest celebration brings together locals and tourists alike for food, beer, dancing, and live music. And if you’re feeling adventurous why not take your horse out on one of their many trails? Or take up residence alongside the banks of Lake Tyler – perfect for fishing! With so much to see and do, you’ll quickly find yourself enchanted by this quaint little town we call home.
