Kansas’s first settlement, and a town renamed for a racehorse man
Four Houses, 1812

Tiblow, then Bonner
The town was named for Henry Tiblow, a Delaware interpreter who ran the river ferry. In 1886 it was renamed for New York publisher and trotting-horse breeder Robert Bonner, in hopes he would fund a racetrack. He did not.
A museum chartered by Congress
Congress chartered the National Agricultural Center & Hall of Fame in 1960, and President Eisenhower signed it. Today it holds more than 10,000 artifacts.
