Wallace County rewards those who value elbow room, big skies, and a deep sense of frontier heritage. Life here revolves around friendly main streets in Sharon Springs, the historic town of Wallace, and ranch-country crossroads like Weskan, with everyday conveniences and additional services just east in Goodland. Outdoor miles roll by on quiet highways and along the Land and Sky Scenic Byway, where golden wheat, sunflowers, and prairie grasslands share the horizon.
History buffs make a beeline to the Fort Wallace Museum, a first-rate stop for exhibits on frontier forts, the Butterfield Overland Despatch, and Plains archaeology. The museum’s programs and events anchor the county’s culture year-round, and Mount Sunflower—the state’s high point—sits a scenic drive away for sunrise photos and unfiltered stargazing. Travelers and locals alike enjoy road trips on the official Land and Sky route, highlighting the region’s agriculture, geology, and sweeping vistas.
Families appreciate strong, close-knit schools. Wallace County Schools (USD 241) in Sharon Springs offers small class sizes, hands-on ag and STEM opportunities, and ample school pride, while Weskan Schools (USD 242) is known for academic coaching, competitive athletics, and community-supported arts. Weekend plans might include a museum lecture, a byway drive, or catching the kids under Friday night lights.
