Manhattan Attractions

Manhattan (pop. 50,000) was settled by people from the northern states. The city is nestled within Flint Hills, where remnants of tall-grass prairie have remained untouched by plows. It is home to City Park with a log cabin, swimming pool, rose garden and a 30-foot statue of Johnny Kaw, a mythical wheat farmer.
