More than a dozen historic hotels are located in Kansas, with many built in the early 1900s at the height of the railroad rush. Over the past century, many of the state’s historic hotels have changed ownership and some have temporarily closed. For some, community members stepped up, realizing the importance of these hotel’s history not only to their town but also the state. Historic preservation is a common theme among hotel owners, and many have gained a spot on the National Register for Historic Places. Sara Fox, owner of Holton’s Hotel Josephine, has made historic preservation a priority since the family purchased the building in 2020.
