Kansas where I live is known for Old Abilene town, which is where Wyatt Earp lived and was sheriff for a while. Also Ike Eisenhower is buried in Abilene and they have his presidential library there. Kansas is also known for the Wizard of Oz and they have a museum here in Kansas. K State is here in Manhattan Kansas as well as in Salina they have a beautiful campus. I lived in Abilene for 9 years before moving 30 minutes away to Salina which is a little larger city. It is known for its Tony's Pizza Factory, as well as Phillips Lighting that makes light bulbs. It is a town of about 50,000 people.
