In this video, we explore the downtown area, learn how the town got its French name meaning “beautiful plain,” and dive into its origins dating back to 1871, including the arrival of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway that helped it grow into a regional shipping hub. Along the way, we check out historic buildings, population trends, and the town’s agricultural roots, plus take a sneak peek at the beautiful Bartlett Arboretum, a unique site with global plant collections and a fascinating past. If you enjoy discovering overlooked small towns with rich history and authentic Midwest character, this hidden gem in Sumner County is definitely worth the visit.
