About Us
Welcome to Baxter Springs, Kansas… a key stop in your Route 66 journey through Kansas.
Along just 13 miles of the Mother Road in our state, our city has long served as a meaningful stop for travelers making their way west, offering a place to pause, explore, and connect with the spirit of the journey.
Today, that legacy lives on through our historic downtown, local museums, and the restored Phillips 66 station that now welcomes visitors as our Route 66 Visitor Center.
Whether you’re passing through or taking your time, Baxter Springs offers a genuine glimpse into the history and character that define Route 66.
