More than a dozen historic hotels are located in Kansas, with many built in the early 1900s at the height of the railroad rush.
Over the past century, many of the state s historic hotels have changed ownership and some have temporarily closed. For some, community members stepped up, realizing the importance of these hotel s history not only to their town but also the state.
Historic preservation is a common theme among hotel owners, and many have gained a spot on the National Register for Historic Places.
Sara Fox, owner of Holton s Hotel Josephine, has made historic preservation a priority since the family purchased the building in 2020.
