14 Things to Do in Abilene, Kansas |
When I’m planning to visit a new place, I love to leave a bit of my trip up to chance. Sure, I will always be an overzealous planner. But I also like to build some time into my schedule to explore, follow through on recommendations from locals, and be surprised by my surroundings. Had I not planned some of that time into a recent road trip, I would have never discovered that there are so many amazing things to do in Abilene, Kansas. |
