Top 5 Ghost Towns in Kansas

Kansas, is a state grounded in history and agriculture - and earning it several nicknames from "The Wheat State" - "The Sunflower State"-"The Free State"
From the Dustbowl in western Kansas to the Santa Fe Trail - Kansas still preserves some of the best Midwest Ghost Towns - here are the Top 5 Ghost Towns in Kansas.

The first one I want to thank and give attribution to is Michael Fienen. He took the shots of Le Hunt - and they are some extraordinary shots of the ghost town and cement plant. You can find his pictures on Flickr - and you can check out more of Le Hunt - at flickr.com/photos/fienen/4989142958/in/album-72157624827780195/
