Native Stone Scenic Byway

Wabaunsee County is proud to be part of the Native Stone Scenic Byway, where the timeless beauty of locally quarried limestone tells the story of our region’s heritage. Along this scenic route, you'll encounter striking stone barns, rugged fences and graceful architecture — all crafted from the distinctive blond native stone. This material is more than just a building block; it’s a symbol of the ingenuity, resilience and artistry of those who came before us. Whether it's weathered outcrops on hillside pastures or meticulously carved details in historic structures, the stone speaks to the deep connection between the land and its people. As you travel through the byway, take time to appreciate the enduring legacy literally built into the landscape.
