Flint Hills Scenic Byway
Chase County Courthouse, KS

On most days, you can see the red mansard roof from vantage points throughout the county. Standing 113 ft tall, the Courthouse is described as a living communal memory of the 600 county residents who, in the 1870s, had the vision to build the most beautiful building the county has ever seen. It is designed as a French Renaissance chateau of local limestone with three-story spiral staircase made from walnut trees from the Cottonwood River.
