Geographic Center to the United States – Lebanon, Kansas

Geographic Center to the United States – Lebanon, Kansas

When you look at the United States (the 48 contiguous states) and go to the center you end up at Lebanon, Kansas!  Actually, the true site is approximately 2 miles northwest of Lebanon.

Although there really isn’t much to see, there is a stone monument with a place on it that tells you that you are at the center of the USA.  There is also a little bitty Chapel titled US Center Chapel that you can visit, maybe say a prayer for the safety of our country and then probably you have seen all there is to see.

Directions: Take US Hwy 281 North 1 mile, turn west one mile on K-191 to the marker that has been placed at the end of the paved road, the actual center is about a half mile away in the center of a former hog farm so you probably don’t want to walk out there, but hey, it’s up to you!
