Did you know that you can still get free land in Kansas?\u00c2\u00a0 It’s true.\u00c2\u00a0 I was totally surprised myself.\u00c2\u00a0 I thought that ended in the early 1900s.\u00c2\u00a0 You can go to KansasFreeLand.com<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0for additional information.\u00c2\u00a0 Free residential land is\u00c2\u00a0available in\u00c2\u00a0the following towns: Atwood<\/a>, Plainville<\/a>, Wilson<\/a>, Lincoln<\/a>, Ellsworth<\/a>, Holyrood<\/a>, Argonia<\/a>, Mankato<\/a>, Washington<\/a>, Minneapolis<\/a>, Kanopolis<\/a>, Metropolis<\/a>, Marquette<\/a>, Peabody<\/a>, Eureka<\/a>, Coffeyville<\/a>, Parsons<\/a> and Chetopa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They’re giving away free land because in the last few years Kansas small towns have seen their population decline.\u00c2\u00a0 Residents have been migrating to cities and larger towns so these smaller towns are dying.\u00c2\u00a0 They figured that by giving people free land, people will start moving to their towns and rejuvenate the economy.\u00c2\u00a0 Speaking of rejuvenating the economy, free commercial land is available as well<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Free commercial land is available in these areas: Washington<\/a>, Stockton<\/a>, Lincoln<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and Abilene<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have always wanted to live in a small town.\u00c2\u00a0 Small town living appeals to me so Brian and I are actually putting some serious thought into this.\u00c2\u00a0 We are hoping to move to a place like Peabody<\/a>, which is less than 40 miles away from Wichita.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s not too far, but far enough away that we can be left alone.<\/p>\n

Brian wants to start a small business.\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe like a little pizza place or something.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s going to be challenging with school.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m kind of spoiled in that I only live a couple of minutes away from WSU<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I don’t think I would be able to handle going to school if we lived in\u00c2\u00a0Peabody<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0so we’re actually thinking of waiting a few years, until after I’m done with grad school.\u00c2\u00a0 That and we need to save some money for capital.\u00c2\u00a0 You can’t start a business without funding, you know?\u00c2\u00a0 You can help us start our new life by making a small donation (hint, hint)<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

Kidding aside, I seriously don’t know if the land in Peabody<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0will still be available a few years from now.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m hoping it will be.\u00c2\u00a0 I’d love to start a new life in a small town.\u00c2\u00a0 Anyway, I just found out about this yesterday and I figured I would share the information with you all.\u00c2\u00a0 Please feel free to spread the word so we can help rejuvenate Kansas economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
