We are excited to bring you a brand-new web site for Kansas data, and hope you will check back often as we build pages full of useful information for you. If you have an interest in a specific county which is available and would like to try your hand at hosting a county or two, be sure to contact me. Copy and paste my email address into your email template: [email protected]. It would also be helpful if you were to add "Trails to the Past" in the subject line, too.
Interested in another state or county? A link to the Home page for Trails to the Past is at the bottom, you'll find more information there.
