Hey everybody! I lived in Kansas for about 10 years and always felt like I wanted to leave. But after moving away in 2011, I've really enjoyed going back to visit and discover new things.
One town that's recently been on my mind is Hutchinson. I always saw it as "the state fair place, and the Cosmosphere is cool I guess."
But I did NOT appreciate just how cool the Cosmosphere actually was until I recently visited again. One of the largest collection of artifacts that have gone into outer space??
I also went to Strataca Salt Museum for the first time. I was more than pleasantly surprised. Walking around the salt mine was so cool, and I spent way too long exploring their film and prop storage gallery.
I'm also trying to make more travel documentaries, and I thought these two places deserved to be shared with people. So I made a 15 minute vlog-style mini-doc about my recent experience at these two places. I don't think I can post it here or my post gets removed, but I can share it in the comments if you want.
I'd love to hear what you like about these two world-class museums hiding in a town most people outside of Kansas have never heard of.
