Review:

Abilene is located approximately 27 miles east of Salina, making this historic city ideal for your next day trip. The town was established as far back as 1858, but was really only heard of once the Kansas Pacific Railroad reached Abilene in 1967.

Today the town has a few interesting landmarks for you to explore, starting with the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum, the Greyhound Hall of Fame and the Heritage Center.

There are also a handful of interesting city museums and the impressive Seelye Mansion. No visit would be complete without stepping back in time at the Abilene and Smokey Valley Railroad, where you can take a ride on the Excursion Train on summer weekends.
