Batson's Drug Store and Family Market

Howard, KS | Elk County

When the town's grocery store closed, Batson's drugstore added groceries to its inventory—a courageous move in a small town, but a vital service for the community. When you find yourself in Howard, pay a visit to Batson's, buy a few gifts and groceries, and enjoy a treat at the old-fashioned soda fountain.
