Summer didn’t even say goodbye!

Fall leads straight into: candy month, pie month, and cookie month

“The weather just went from 90 to 55 like it saw a state trooper.”

Go back in time at the Butterfield Trail Museum

A visit to Butterfield Trail Museum in Russell Springs, Kan., will take guests to 1963 and further back into the deeps of time. The Logan County Courthouse is stranded in time because of the last Kansas county seat fight. After a drawn-out county seat fight, Oakley won, and Russell Springs lost. In 1963, Oakley finally won the fight. The county offices moved away from beautiful Russell Springs. As a final insult, contractors ripped courthouse vaults from the wall and hauled them to Oakley.


The Butterfield Trail Museum in Russell Springs was the original Logan County Courthouse.
