Walnut sits in Crawford County, a tight-knit community with quick routes to Girard and Pittsburg for shopping, services, and game days at Pittsburg State University. Outdoor time comes easy at Crawford State Park, where residents fish, hike, paddle, and end the day with wide-open prairie sunsets; history is close by at the Fort Scott National Historic Site in Fort Scott.
Families appreciate access to Girard USD 248, offering small classes, solid academics, and competitive activities.
