Kansas State Flag. On a navy blue field is a sunflower, the state flower. Also, the state seal and the words KANSAS. In the picture of the state seal are thirty-four stars representing the order of statehood. Above the stars is the motto 'To the Stars Through Difficulties'. On the seal a sunrise overshadows a farmer plowing a field near his log cabin, a steamboat sailing the Kansas River, a wagon train heading west and Native Americans hunting bison.

Built in 1858 it was a mail stop on the Santa Fe Trail offering meals and lodging until 1869. At 130 yards behind this sign are the remains of the hotel and stage station.
About fifty German and French families settled here. The large stone hotel was erected; a large distillery and brewery were started. Soon the leading merchants failed and the town was abandoned in the early 1870's. Many of the Germans moved to Alma and the property was sold for taxes.

Erected by the Burlingame Chamber of Commerce and the Heart of the Flint Hills Chapter of the S.F.T.A.
