We are in Coffeyville, Kansas for a few weeks and visiting some of the attractions in the area. The Dalton Gang robbed their last bank in Coffeyville and most are buried in the local cemetery. The Little House on the Prairie historic site is located just west of Coffeyville and the Brown Mansion is a main attraction in Coffeyville.

The location is where the house used to be as well as other buildings and things discussed in the book.

This is a replica of the Little House on the Prairie made famous in Laura Ingalls Wilder's book.

Well so much for Little House on the Prairie.

It is time for us to find the Yellow Brick Road we all heard about in the Wizzard of Oz.

Yellow Brick Road in Sedan, Kansas

The small Kansas town of Sedan is located west of Coffeyville and is home to The Yellow Brick Road.

How hokie!

They advertise this hokie Yellow Brick Road in everything possible

. The Yellow Brick Road is nothing more than some yellow bricks laid in a sidewalk in downtown Sedan. They aren't even bricks they are cement pavers made locally with colored sand and possibly some dye. I think in our 8-years of traveling and sightseeing this is our biggest disappointment.

Hokie, only begins to describe how over-hyped this "Yellow Brick Road" was/is. Unless you are totally enamored by the Wizzard of Oz the Yellow Brick Road is a total waste.
