The only sounds disturbing the nighttime tranquility are the soft hoot of an owl or the steady tread of deer
meandering through the tree-sheltered back yard. Nights are so dark here that countless stars are visible; you
can clearly see the Milky Way.
There is nothing as refreshing and rejuvenating as an escape into the quietness of nature. Our area has an
abundance of wildlife, including whitetail deer, Canadian geese, Mallard ducks, wild turkey, ring neck pheasant,
bobwhite quail, and beaver. Now is a good time to spot Bald Eagles soaring close to the water. If you enjoy
wandering through the wildlife and parks lands we would be glad to direct you to some prime areas. Winter is a
good time to hike.
We are part of the Flint Hills Region of Kansas and right next door to the Tallgrass Prairie Preserve  and the
Z-Bar Ranch. The third Saturday in September is time for the famous Hillsboro Arts and Crafts Fair  and
Marion's
Art in the Park. The only place in America where the historic Santa Fe Trail and the Chisholm Trail
cross and is in Marion County! Be sure not to miss
Chingawassa Days  every first weekend of June in Marion
and
Old Settler's Day the last weekend in September. Late fall through early spring is prime time for hiking and
we are now offering
guided hiking trips through wildlife and parks land.
There is also a rich
Mennonite heritage in Marion County. Hillsboro, the home of Tabor College, is called 'Little
Jerusalem' by the
Mennonites.
