Kiosk open
This new kiosk, located on Highway 4 between Claflin and Hoisington, features information about the B-29 Training Base in Great Bend that held bombing practice over Cheyenne Bottoms beginning in 1943. Ten pound sacks of flour were dropped while spotters watched from this location. The base was deactivated later in the 1940s. The kiosk, completed this year, was a project of the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks with dirt work assistance provided by Barton County.
