A Charming Place to Stay in Rexford, Kansas
This Queen Anne Victorian house was built by an early Thomas County pioneer in 1906 and was listed on the Kansas Register of Historic Places in 2005. It has now been restored to offer guests a peaceful respite from the rush and pressures of our time, and Pastors and wives desiring a personal midweek retreat. The home is beautifully furnished with antiques, crystal chandeliers, lace curtains and Victorian art.
