Uniontown balances wide-open prairie views with the comforts of a close-knit community along the U.S. 54 corridor, about 20 minutes from Fort Scott in Bourbon County. Daily routines feel easy here, with straightforward commutes and quick connections to regional shopping and jobs in Pittsburg and Iola.
Families appreciate the local schools, where students are known by name. Uniontown USD 235 anchors the community with West Bourbon Elementary, Uniontown Junior High, and Uniontown High School, and a full slate of academics, fine arts, FFA, and small-school athletics. For workforce training, dual-credit classes, and continuing education, Fort Scott Community College expands options close to home.
Weekends often point outdoors. The nearby Bourbon State Fishing Lake and Wildlife Area, managed by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks, draws anglers, hikers, and photographers to its hardwood hillsides, seasonal waterfall spillway, and limestone outcrops. History buffs head to the meticulously preserved Fort Scott National Historic Site for living history programs and trails. County services, elections, and local events are easy to track through the Bourbon County government, while road conditions and construction updates for U.S. 54 and US‑69 are a tap away on KanDrive. Agriculture and home economics resources—including 4‑H—are supported by K‑State Research and Extension’s Southwind District.
