Paola

Paola occupies rolling prairie in northeastern Kansas's Miami County. As the county seat, it is organized around a traditional downtown square and the Miami County Courthouse, a continuing focus of local government. Paola was founded in 1855, when Kansas Territory was at the center of the national conflict over slavery. That history is also interpreted at the John Brown Museum State Historic Site in nearby Osawatomie, where abolitionist John Brown lived for a time. The Marais des Cygnes River runs through Miami County north of Paola, while farms, ponds and open roads define the country beyond town.
