Flagpole Festival

Mound Valley, KS | Labette County

Why is a flagpole in the center of downtown's main intersection? No one knows why or how long it's been there. One theory is that town leaders placed it there for no particular reason. It does come in handy, though, for giving directions''From the flagpole, go...' In recognition of the mystery flagpole, every June the town hosts the Flagpole Festival.
