Lindsborg, Kansas

This is the best small town in Kansas and is known as Little Sweden U.S.A. In the fall of odd-numbered years, Lindsborg celebrates its Swedish heritage with food, crafts, and dancing in a festival known as Svensk Hyllningsfest. Lindsborg sidewalks are adorned with creatively painted Dala horse statues of Swedish origin. These Swedes take pride in their community - litter is as rare as a July snowstorm. This small town is the home of Bethany College. The college has an enrollment of 500 students and is affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Lindsborg was the subject of a feature article in the May 2006 issue of National Geographic Magazine. Conveniently located off I-135, don't miss this charming town in the middle of Kansas hospitality. When in Lindsborg, visit the interesting neighbor town of Marquette. Photos of Marquette are available on this website.
