Volland Road is full of cowboys, horses, and dust. Hear the whistle of the train as it slows to a stop. Cattle stream out of boxcars, and cowboys drive them away to lush pastures of native grass. In the meantime, section crews maintain the tracks, passengers arrive or pass through, mail and supplies are delivered –  everything that can be ordered from a catalog – or that Otto Kratzer wants to serve at a holiday dinner. Families gather here on Thursday nights to shop and gossip and on Sunday afternoons to visit and play. The school bus stops by after school. The school board meets at the Store. It is the social and cultural center of the community.

A gentle breeze sways the tops of trees, the ground is silent under your feet, birds fill the air with song. The Volland Trail offers a rarity in the Flint Hills - direct access to the land. Along with history and sculpture, immerse yourself in a 30-minute walk through Volland's grounds.

Mark McHenry, a retired architect, graciously gifted six sculptures to the Volland Foundation between 2023 and 2024. The sculptures encompass his life's work, pulling together found objects and displaying his affinity for wood working.
