Council Grove, Kansas, is a historic town in the heart of the Flint Hills, a region of rolling hills and tallgrass prairie in Kansas. It was an essential stop on the Santa Fe Trail, where traders and travelers met with the Osage Indians to negotiate passage and trade goods. You can explore the rich history of Council Grove by visiting its many landmarks, such as the Council Oak, the Hays House Restaurant, and the Kaw Mission. You can also enjoy the scenic beauty of the Neosho River and the wildlife of the Flint Hills National Scenic Byway. Council Grove is a place where you can experience the charm and spirit of the American frontier.
The Midwest LTV’ers Council Grove Rally will be at the Canning Creek Cove Park Campground, 1137 Lake Road, Council Grove, Kansas, October 6 – 10, 2025 (4 nights), and the cost is $63 camping fee and a $10 rally fee per LTV unit, for a total of $73.00.
