Greensburg

The prairie around Greensburg is open, semi-arid grassland, a setting that has shaped both the town’s low-rise layout and its farming-and-ranching economy. This Kiowa County seat sits in south-central Kansas, near the South Fork Ninnescah River, where grain fields and grazing land extend across the Great Plains. On 4 May 2007, an EF5 tornado devastated Greensburg; reconstruction brought energy-efficient public buildings and a strong civic focus on sustainability. The Big Well, built in 1887 and regarded as the world’s largest hand-dug well, recalls the challenge of securing water on the plains.
