Alcove Spring

A very historical site on the Oregon Trail and the National Register of Historic Places is nestled in the hills north of Blue Rapids. The spring was named in 1871 by a member of the ill-fated Donner-Reed Party.

Ice Age Monument

Professor George Callison grew up in Blue Rapids and left to seek advanced education and adventure in palentology. He had a vision, took action and created a monument to the Ice Age that left rocks, the beautiful Flint Hills, and mastodon tusks and teeth in our sand pits.
