FIND YOURSELF IN THE
FLINT HILLS
Just minutes from downtown Manhattan, visitors enjoy the breathtaking beauty of the Flint Hills from sunrise to sunset.
FLINT HILLS FLAMES Since the beginning of time, prairie thunderstorms caused powerful lightning strikes igniting massive fires throughout the Flint Hills. These fires are Mother Nature’s way of cleansing the prairie of trees and brush, giving the native tallgrasses of the Flint Hills new life. Today, ranchers set controlled fires in the Flint Hills each spring. The annual burns ensure these native grasses get a new start. By late April, a fresh carpet of lush, green grass spreads for miles, signaling that spring has arrived.
PRAIRIE PLANTS PRAIRIE HIKES ON THE KONZA Hikers and nature enthusiasts marvel at the splendor of Konza while exploring one of the Preserve’s three nature trails ranging from 2.6 miles to 6.2 miles long. Wildlife living here includes more than 200 animal species, 600 species of flora, and a herd of approximately 250 bison. Jointly owned by Kansas State University and the Nature Conservancy and operated by the university’s Division of Biology, the Konza’s land has never been touched by a plow. Natural vistas are the same as those seen by pioneers and Native Americans hundreds of years ago when bison roamed the prairie. The trails are open daily and free to explore. Pets are prohibited. A $2 contribution is suggested. 6

The rugged beauty of Flint Hills flora and fauna is on display during the Midwest’s four seasons. Dozens of flowering plant species unique to the Flint Hills are most visible during two peak periods, mid-May through June, and August through September. In the spring, the prairie’s rocky outcrops and ledges are covered in colorful blossoms. In May and June, look for the Missouri Evening Primrose in crevices of the flint rock outcroppings. Its attractive pink bloom closes in the evening and opens again in the morning. In the summer, spot Prairie Coneflower, a relative of Kansas’ state flower, the sunflower.

Learn about prairie conservation initiatives, the tallgrasses’ sprawling root system, native wildlife, indigenous wildflowers, Native American prairie culture, historic railroad towns and pioneer wagon trains that traversed the Great Plains of Kansas. Visitors relax on the roof garden landscaped with native prairie grasses and wildflowers.

5 FLINT HILLS FUN FACTS
• Humans have lived in the Flint Hills for 13,000 years. Fossils show signs of sea and plant life more than 250 million years old when the Konza was covered by a shallow sea. • Just 4% of the world’s tallgrass prairie remains, and most of that is in the Kansas Flint Hills. • Grasses in the Flint Hills can grow 10-feet tall, and their roots may extend 15-feet into the soil. • Manhattan is known for its white stone buildings made of the region’s native Cottonwood Limestone. Riley County Courthouse on Poyntz, completed in 1906, is a fine example of Manhattan’s signature stone architecture. • Flint Hills sunrises and sunsets can’t be beat. V I S I T M A N H AT TA N K S .

JIM COLBERT
LINDA COOK
Professional Golfer and Founder, Colbert Hills
Chief of Staff Kansas State University
K-State alumnus Jim Colbert has seen the world as a professional golfer and golf commentator on the world’s top golf courses. Manhattan is home for Colbert, the architect of the city’s acclaimed Colbert Hills Golf Course. Golfers enjoy Colbert Hills, with its links style and 92 white sand bunkers that tie seamlessly into the Flint Hills topography. It’s challenging, yet affordable — and that’s just what Colbert envisioned when he began planning the course, ranked by several golf publications as Kansas’ Best Public Golf Course since it opened in 2000. The 18-hole golf course is home to K-State’s golf teams and hosts an APT Tour professional golf event, Colbert Charity Classic, annually since 2012. Manhattan’s culture, entertainment and relaxation opportunities are why Colbert has lived here since 2001. Colbert says, “I want people to see the golf course, try our restaurant and experience what a lot of people don’t know Manhattan offers.”
Manhattan’s entertainment, diverse food culture and art scene drew Linda Cook to Manhattan in 2010. That’s when she became Chief of Staff at K-State, leading the university’s Landon Lecture Series. She’s also a liaison between the university’s president and several campus and Manhattan community organizations. “There are so many things to do here and such a variety of activities and places to go that are on par with a larger community, but without the hassle of bigger cities,” she says. Cook loves the entertainment options in Manhattan. She attends shows at the university’s McCain Auditorium, exhibits at the Beach Museum of Art and art openings at Strecker Nelson West Art Gallery. Cook enjoys dinner at Harry’s and walks on the Konza Prairie. According to Cook, Manhattan — surrounded by natural beauty — has all the assets of a small town, such as safety and comfort of knowing fellow residents, but she says it feels much more cosmopolitan.

Executive Chef Harry’s Restaurant
Borck Brothers Men’s Clothing and Formalwear, co-owned by business partners Fred Borck and Alan Parker, has been the premier menswear provider in northeast Kansas for more than 40 years. As Manhattan’s legacy haberdasher, Parker feels it’s a privilege for their highly-trained staff to work with multiple generations of clients. “We’ve sold them their very first suits, confirmation suits, interview suits and wedding tuxedos,” Parker says. Manhattan’s vibrant yet laid-back community offers loyal customers and visitors plenty of opportunities to dress for, such as enjoying restaurants downtown for that special celebration, drinks with friends at Mr. K’s or a sundowner cocktail at Colbert Hills, says Parker. “There’s always something to do in Manhattan, like a relaxing walk on the beautiful K-State campus and Konza Prairie. I like to play golf at Colbert Hills, Stagg Hill and the Manhattan Country Club,” he says.
Dennis Cook’s dream is that Aggieville, one of the oldest shopping areas in Kansas, returns to its roots as a vibrant retail, entertainment, residential and dining district in the greater Manhattan community. Cook, director of the Aggieville Business Association, works to attract visitors to the historic neighborhood. “We want to bring the next generation of young business people to Aggieville making it a more vital, energetic entertainment district,” he says. Exciting things for Aggieville are underway including a new hotel slated to open in 2020, more parking and plans to make the district more pedestrian friendly. Cook says Manhattan’s college town vibe and friendly people contribute to Aggieville’s renaissance. “How cool is it to have all this going on in town and all within five minutes of the country?” In addition to Aggieville, Cook encourages visitors to experience the K-State campus, Tuttle Creek Recreation Area and the Flint Hills.
Cadell Bynum came to Manhattan from St. Louis to attend college in the late 1980s and never left. Today, he is executive chef at Harry’s, one of Manhattan’s premiere dining establishments. How he got there is no surprise. “I didn’t realize until I got away from home that I had a lot of fantastic cooks in my family,” explains Bynum, honored by Best Chefs of America every year since 2013. As a student at K-State, Bynum cut his teeth in the food business working in Aggieville’s bar and grill scene. His work ethic and creativity earned him a job at Harry’s. Thirty years later, he is the executive chef at Harry’s and it’s sister eatery, Bourbon & Baker. Bynum has witnessed Manhattan’s food scene flourish and is proud of his contribution to it. He loves his adopted hometown. “I like the pace in Manhattan. I think that’s why we call living here Manhappiness.”

RILEY COUNTY HISTORICAL MUSEUM Begin your tour at this museum, where you’ll discover Manhattan’s past through changing exhibits and priceless artifacts on permanent display. Among the exhibits are an original theater seat from Wareham Opera House, World War I-era U.S. Army wool uniforms and a hand-carved sunflower clock made for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Open daily. GOODNOW HOUSE STATE HISTORICAL SITE Abolitionists Isaac and Ellen Goodnow founded Manhattan on the common principles of freedom and education. Their home built in 1861 is located next to the Riley County Historical Museum. It contains Victorian-era furniture and is open for tours. HARTFORD HOUSE Pre-fabricated homes were often cargo aboard 1850s steamboats carrying passengers West. This home located at 2301 Claflin Avenue was originally assembled near 5th and Colorado Streets, then donated to Riley County Historical Museum about 50 years ago. Hours vary.
OUR HISTORY PIONEER LOG CABIN The cornerstone for this pioneer cabin was laid in 1915 and incorporated stone from the first building constructed at what is now Kansas State University. Built using walnut logs, the cabin illustrates a typical Riley County pioneer period home. It’s located in City Park and is open seasonally. WOLF HOUSE MUSEUM Built in the 1880s, this two-story, limestone home was originally used as a boarding house and then a private dwelling owned by the Wolf family before it became a museum in 1983. FORT RILEY Fort Riley opened in 1853 as a frontier Army installation to protect pioneers traveling on wagon trains across the Flint Hills. Today, Fort Riley’s workday population exceeds 20,000 military and on-post, private-contract employees. The post contributes $2 billion to Manhattan’s and Kansas’ economies. The museum is closed for remodeling until mid-2020. Until then, enjoy the temporary museum located at 247 Cameron Avenue.

“EMAW!” One of the most popular phrases among Wildcats fans is “EMAW,” or “Every Man a Wildcat.” A battle cry for decades of K-State athletics’ history, fans unite behind the slogan, which declares they are part of the Wildcats nation.
KSU TRADITIONS • Purple – and plenty of it. It’s been the official color of Kansas State University since 1896. • Call Hall Ice Cream Parlor on the north side of K-State’s campus, is home to K-State’s scrumptious “Purple Pride” blueberry ice cream and dozens of other flavors. Plus, there is K-State-made cheese, meats and more. • Why we Wabash! K-State’s Marching and Pep Bands play “Wabash Cannonball” loud and often at athletic contests. ESPN named it the “best pre-game tradition in the Big 12 Conference.” • Who’s Willie? He’s KSU’s #1 sports fan, mascot and K-State ambassador. Willie the Wildcat is a student who wears the uniform and over-sized Wildcat head. • Hall of Fame Coach Bill Snyder, who came to Manhattan in 1989, resurrected one of the nation’s worst college football programs transforming it into one of its best. He retired in 2018 after winning 215 football games and being named to the College Football Hall of Fame. 22
