US Highway 24 stretches from the high plains of western Kansas, eastward through north central region of the state, following the path of its namesake.A link of agricultural heritage is shared between the communities established along the route, each with their own unique personality, collaborating to interpret, preserve and promote their shared heritage.
The Solomon Valley is full of fascinating cultural treasures to explore. Where else can you find the World's Largest Ball of Twine (Cawker City), the only Black settlement west of the Mississippi (Nicodemus), and an 1880s working sheep ranch (Cottonwood Ranch State Historic Site at Studley) Known for world class pheasant hunting, the area also provides outstanding opportunities to hunt other upland game, deer, turkey, and waterfowl. Webster and Glen Elder Reservoirs, along with other smaller lakes and farm ponds, provide excellent fishing opportunities. Whether your interests lie in history, genealogy, architecture, shopping, outdoor sports, or just the opportunity to see Kansas at its best, travel the Solomon Valley and learn the Stories of Land of Man of Nature.
